Met Patrick at Banana Republic. Shopping at Diesel and The Gap. Attended the grand opening of Crate & Barrel at 555 Stockton, bought a throw. Lunch at Briazz. Dinner at Jitra, which advertised a "special surprise for the ladies" on Valentine's Day. Unable to get reservations at other choices downtown, we decided it would be more relaxing to dine at our neighborhood Thai restaurant instead. The surprise turned out to be a nice pair of handcrafted chopsticks made with three kinds of wood and enclosed in a dyed, straw-woven sheath. We noticed, however, that tables with one man and woman got one pair of chopsticks, and tables with two women got two pairs of chopsticks. Patrick and I got one pair of chopsticks. Someone write a call to action!
