Walked and rode Muni to UCSF Laurel Heights. Breakfast from The View Cafe: croissandwich with egg, cheddar, and bacon; water. Sprint standup. Sent notice to affected customers about the Monday evening and Tuesday morning outage for pharm and cpcs. Edited the CCB research areas page for Julia M because of complexity. Styling work: people views. Met with Eric about microsites identity retheme comps. Late lunch: leftovers from last night. Styling work: people views. Rode UberX to the Outer Mission. Matt and Jaime are in town visiting for a week. Tonight is their last night before heading home. Patrick and I met them at Outer Orbit on their opening day. The food, drink, and pinball looked great, but it was too crowded and noisy for us. We tried to be seated at Blue Plate, Emmy's Spaghetti Shack, The Front Porch, all with waits longer than we wanted. We walked to 30th and Church Streets. Pomelo was closed (on a Friday night?!). We ended up at Regent Thai (1700 Church Street), dining family-style: Thai fresh egg rolls (rice paper rolls stuffed with pork, egg, tofu and cucumber, topped with crab meat served with sweet and sour tamarind sauce), tod mun (deep-fried fish cakes and green beans served with cucumber salad and ground peanuts), panaeng gung (shrimp with panaeng curry, coconut milk, mushrooms, zucchini, carrots, bell pepper and sweet basil), moo yang (marinated pork served with sweet and sour sauce), tofu pad se-eiw (stir-fried wide noodles with soy sauce, broccoli, egg), brown rice, white rice, hot tea for Patrick and Frank, and we also shared a bottle of red wine. Afterwards we walked to Noeteca where we considered dessert and had another round of drinks (beer for Jaime and Patrick, wine for Matt, and a Chateau Grillon sauterne dessert wine for me). We all shared an UberX home, Matt and Jaime continuing to Holly's place. It was great to catch up with them.
