Did a non-technical Web Accessibility presentation for a group of important people at UCSF. It went pretty well, I thought. Dinner at home with Patrick: meatloaf, corn on the cob, Spanish rice. We listened to a collection of Madonna songs and played Scrabble. Patrick played "cuir," and I let him since I was wasn't sure it wasn't a fabric (what he said it was) and because I was less than 26 points ahead. Turns out cuir is not an English word, so he would have lost—it's French for "leather." I played "nary" which he thought had an apostrophe. He was suspicious of my play of "unhoods" but didn't challenge it. He also tried to play "queso," but I made him take it back and let him play another word. It was a very close game, and Patrick even took the lead more than once. In the end, we tied exactly at 304 points each! How exciting!
