At 10:41 am I made the changes to set the new UCSF School of Pharmacy Web site live to the world. The rest of the day was spent sweeping up loose ends, setting up redirects from the old server at www.sop.ucsf.edu, writing announcements, and so on. Cindy bought me a bouquet of yellow tulips with a note card: "Frank, Congraulations on the successful launch of the new site—just a small token of my appreciation for a job exceptionally well done!—CBW." I have a late lunch at Nan King Road Bistro: my usual, #1 not spicy. After lunch I stop at 9th Avenue Books, which is having a going out of business sale—books at 50% and 60% off. I find two E.M. Forster paperbacks that I'm pretty sure Patrick doesn't have yet: Howard's End and Maurice. I also find a small hardcover book called "Traditional Chinese Medicine" by Daniel Reid. All three books cost me US$9.48—a steal. Dinner at Eric's: sizzling rice soup, five taste chicken, mixed vegetables, steamed rice. My fortune: It is better to get something done late than never (2 12 15 26 29 38, 3 5 8). Patrick's fortune: Magic will be created when an unconventional person comes to stay (15 26 36 39 41 44, 4 5 9). I find out today that Kelly Hawk is leaving eTranslate to return to Apple to work on iMovie. It was his birthday yesterday, and I had neglected to call because I fell asleep right after dinner.
