Woke at 3 AM, couldn't sleep. Washed dishes, made my favorite breakfast. Edited and uploaded photos. Back to bed at 7:40 AM. Woke at around 11:30 AM. Housecleaning. Breakfast: organic plain yogurt with vanilla extract; one fresh, diced organic d'anjou pear; cinnamon. Rode the bike to and through Golden Gate Park: 10.8 miles, somewhere between 2 and 3.5 hours non-continuous. I don't recall ever seeing Prayer Book Cross and the nearby waterfall. Stopped at an Annie's Hot Dogs stand for an organic veggie dog with red onion sauce, salted hot pretzel, xxx vitamin water—yummy. Emery's birthday dinner, mostly appetizers and pizza, at Capri on Market with Emery, Ray (met), Patrick C, John B, Ben, Pang, Dave R, Dave M, Eric N, Herman, Scott T, Andy M, Ben L, Tim C. Emery wore a t-shirt that said, "SO FAR THIS IS THE OLDEST I'VE EVER BEEN." In figuring out transit to our next destination, Dave R, Dave M, and Eric N wanted to get some dessert from Sweet Inspirations, so I told them I would get my car and pick them up in a few minutes. Dropped them off at Emery's then continued on to Endup to get a good parking space and get in line early. Shangri La at Endup. It was Shangri La's 4th anniversary as well as birthday parties for Tita Aida, Emery, and DJ Jay Santos. A bisexual woman chatted with me in line about her very recent unpleasant experience at 1015 Folsom. She could not let go of it but as we were in line I could not get away from her negative aura or persuade her to talk about much of anything else. DJ Jay Santos opened. Big Kid from Singapore spun after hours. Robin S sang several songs including "Luv 2 Luv" and "Show Me Love." Met or encountered everyone who went to dinner at Capri, Greg and Tim, Joseph, Danny, Ryan and Mark, Joe and Duy, Rob, Apollo, Hershey, Matt, Ryan, Jason, and many, many others. Dropped off Ryan and Jason at home. Accidentally took the wrong route home, got lost a bit, unpleasant. Late meal: leftover veggie pizza.
