Spent the day with Will. Dropped off my bike for a tune up at Bay Area Bikes, Dale receiving. We then ate at Arizmendi Bakery: salad with balsamic vinaigrette, 2 slices of veggie pizza, 1 apple-apricot muffin, Boylan orange for me, a juice for Will, about $17. Farmers Market. Observed festivities related to the breast cancer walk. Pedal boat on Lake Merritt at Lake Merritt Boating Center for an hour, about $15 (non-resident—Will's ID didn't reflect his Oakland address). While out on the lake we shared a pecan roll left over from Arizmendi. On our return pass through the Farmers Market I bought 2 white nectarines, 1 pluot, and 1 heirloom tomato. I think everything I bought was organic. Everything was $2 per pound—pretty inexpensive. Frozen yogurt. Will's place. Nap. Watched a few videos on YouTube, starting with the Whole Foods Parking Lot video. I picked up my bike from Bay Area Bikes, then drove home. Traffic at the bridge toll was heavy. Shower. Appetizer: slices of heirloom tomato, sweet potato chips. Patrick got home but had already eaten dinner. Dinner: semi-homemade watermelon lemonade, organic lentil soup with slices of organic heirloom tomato. Watched Taxi Driver (1976) on Netflix DVD with Patrick. Late snack: the organic pluot, very perfectly sweet and juicy.
