Day off from work. Woke around 5, couldn't get back to sleep for a few hours. No breakfast (!). Small web edits for Danny. Showered. West Portal with Tina and Patrick: drinks at Peet's, breakfast pastries at West Portal Bakery -- they were just okay. Tina bought wine at Wine Styles. Drove to Jenny's. Hung out with Jenny in her amazing home; she showed us examples of her wet plate colloidal photography -- fascinating! We decided to get a bite at Bette's diner when we got a call from Jeremy who had just shown up at the house. We drove back and Patrick and I got out and Jeremy got in and Patrick and I drove down separately -- we were running out of time. Late lunch at Bette's -- we made it in the door minutes before closing. Tina will stay at Jenny's tonight. Patrick and I drove home. I napped, then went to dinner at Mary Anne's with about 15 others -- a thank you to members of the Self Study Steering Committee and key participants in our recent and very successful accreditation process. She is the perfect hostess, and I even received a giant fortune cookie that I wasn't expecting. I believe she said she was also the chef. Plum chicken, roasted red and yellow peppers, steamed rice with parsley, garden salad, asparagus with baby roma tomatoes, more. Dessert: almond cake with fresh whipped cream, diced and sliced strawberries, and blueberries. A few words from Mary Anne and Barbara -- a delightful evening, and I was honored to be invited. I really got the sense that these people are like a kind of family together -- there's so much history among them. Home around 8. Watched My Own Private Idaho on DVD with Patrick. I forgot to mention that our temporary admin assistant Eric V told me the other day that Firefox 3 was out, and I immediately said, "Oh, no, it's not out yet" but then I went back to my desk and checked, and he was right! The reviews seem good, but I am waiting just a bit because I don't know if all my plug-ins are compatible and to check I'd have to hunt them down one by one. It would be cool if whatever current version of Firefox would check plug-in compatibility when a new version is released and, perhaps, offer the upgrade only when all the plug-ins I use are compatible. The way it works now is you upgrade and then it tells you what plug-ins you had are and aren't compatible. Kudos to Eric V for being better informed than me about a hot new browser release. Stretches. Weight training: superslow front raise, superslow lateral raise, dumbbell press, wrist curl. Late meal: steamed rice with leftover beef with broccoli.
