Put class schedules for Fall 2002 on the Web for Cindy and Debrah to review. Put together paperwork to order Debrah's new computer. Lunch with Patrick at Hana. Dinner at Gordo. Paid bills, filed paperwork. Patrick went to David Leavitt's reading at the Commonwealth Club. The reading went well, he bought a book called "Florence, A Delicate Case," and he got that book as well as his copy of Gay Fiction Speaks signed. David had heard of him; he is known among some as "the other Patrick Ryan" because there is another man named Patrick Ryan who is friends with David Leavitt and Edmund White. Patrick and David exchanged contact information, and David wants to read his work.
