Weight training: yes no maybes, v-ups (too hard for me—I can't coordinate both actions at the same time properly yet), iron crosses, door pull-ups. Breakfast: organic oatmeal with fresh diced apple, cinnamon, nonfat milk. Sewing projects: edited a pair of beige long pants from Uniqlo. It took pretty much all day because I had to edit the length as well as the width, but I'm very happy with the results. Lunch: leftover rainbow orzo pasta salad, organic honey green tea. Dinner with Will at Catch (415-431-5000, 2362 Market Street, San Francisco, California, USA 94114) via Groupon and OpenTable. We got a coveted table by the fire. Will had a glass of gewurztraminer ($7). Appetizer: tempura shrimp with salmon sushi roll ($14.50). We both had the polenta ($15 each). SF healthcare surcharge ($1.50 each). $54.50 before tax, $40 Groupon discount (purchased for $20), and tip ($12). $31.68. Food was very good. The sushi roll is tasty but it's so big that it easily falls apart and is otherwise not noteworthy. I think it's trying to do too much. A wider dipping dish for the sauce would improve the situation. Service was a little slow but we didn't care. Cathleen was our server. Usually Will dislikes salmon but in this roll he seemed to enjoy it. We abandon earlier plans to go to 80s night at Trigger. Will stays over. We watch part of a Netflix DVD of Strong Bad's emails which is funnier than I had expected it to be. Edited and uploaded Asia trip photos to Flickr.
