Continued setting up the new computer. New power supply is in and everything runs noticeably warmer than the old setup. Got TV and radio working yesterday. We get a few channels clearly, but not the Chinese station that Patrick wanted. Lunch at home by myself: salad mix with some shredded mozzarella and romano, blue cheese dressing, mushrooms, red bell peppers. Chocolate cherry bread. Napped. Snack with Patrick: tater tots. Went to Aaron's new apartment to watch Andromeda Strain (1971) on DVD. Jamie was there but left before the movie. Aaron served us shrimp wraps, vegetable bird's nests, olives, several kinds of cheeses. We brought rosemary potato bread, wine, and cheese. Aaron gave us Christmas and Chinese New Year presents: Patrick got a pear magnet, pear swizzle sticks, a book called China House by Vincent Lardo. I got a cookbook called The Best of China and a small magnet with the Chinese character for dao (the way).
