Breakfast: essentially same as yesterday. Patrick and I changed the battery in the fire alarm. Patrick did laundry. Ordered new tires over the phone, will have them installed next week. I wanted to put some touch-up paint on my car in a few spots but a light drizzle was falling, so I'll wait until later. Adjusted the positions of the front windshield sprayers. Patrick cut his hair and took a shower. He's been starting to cut his own hair with our hair clippers lately. I think this is the second time. Patrick and I ate lunch at Pasta Pomodoro Japantown/Kabuki (415-674-1826, 1865 Post Street). I had chicken parmigiana with soup, Patrick had casereccie with salad, extra dressing. We both had iced tea to drink. We both enjoyed our meals. Afterwards, we tried a new dessert they call delizia—sort of a strawberry version of tiramisu. It consists of ladyfingers soaked in grand marnier layered with marinated strawberries and mascarpone zabaion. (I don't know what zabaion is—do you?) We both liked it, and Patrick liked it slightly more than I did. (Sorry, no photos—I forgot!) Alexandra was our server; she was attentive for the first half of our meal, neglectful for the second. Our meal was $23.54 before a $4 tip. Our dessert was free because of an offer in the Pasta Pomodoro club, of which I'm a member. Then did some shopping at Office Depot on Geary (415-831-1080, 3700 Geary Blvd). I took a nap. Patrick did more laundry and worked on Lodestar. I woke up. Patrick had left for Wei's. I did weight training: bridge, crunch, push-up, bench dip. Late dinner: blueberry yogurt, turkey burgers.
