Lunch and shopping with Joel: Sur La Table. Late lunch at Wolfgang Puck Express: we both got half sandwiches with a side Caesar. Mine was delicious even though the grated parmesan cheese was heaped upon my Caesar salad greens so that lettuce was no longer visible. The Container Store. I asked Joel to help me find a pair of athletic shoes, so he took me to lots of different places: DSW, Payless, Marshall, Shoe Pavilion, Macy's, Nordstrom, Footlocker, Steve Madden, Burlington Coat Factory. Fruit smoothies at Surf City. I was amazed by his navigational skills—he knew all the hidden entrances, exits, and elevators in Union Square. I invited him to come with me to visit BriKel, but he declined. BriKel had just gotten back from a bike ride to San Bruno. We chatted in the kitchen before going to Golden Produce for groceries. After that I went home, made spaghetti with tomato and basil sauce, french fries.
