Mom Ryan, Patrick, and I visited Peter and Galen at Galen's new home in Noe Valley shared with Yuki and Steve. After the house tour, we got brunch at Le Zinc French Bistro (415-647-9400, 4063 24th Street). Service was very good, and all our meals were delicious. Mom Ryan, Peter, and I had the French omelet (bacon, spinach). Patrick had the crab cake eggs and a viennois. Galen had the egg brik. The decor is perfect, French without being overtly so, especially admirable is the color design done in burgundy and creamy yellow. Mom Ryan and I went home. Patrick went to Just Desserts to study. She took a walk. I coded Lodestar. Work for Corinna: brochure draft edits. Archived documents. Just a little trivia: for the period of August 14 through September 7 we racked up 340 minutes of long-distance calls the majority of which went to Louisiana and Texas. It only cost us $14.43—a pittance. That's 5 hours and 40 minutes, and an average of 4.2 cents per minute! Today Mom Ryan received a check from the parents of our friend Amy B with whom Patrick worked at wcities.
