Spent most of the day working on Lodestar and doing chores at home. Weight training: dumbbell fly, dumbbell bench press, crunch, leg lift. Cut my hair, showered. Patrick was at work all day. In the evening Mom Ryan had had a small emergency—she had lost her step walking along Market Street and had scraped her elbow and knee. Kind people nearby assisted her and a shopowner helped bandage her elbow. She made it home by herself, and Patrick went over to see her right after work. He called me and I brought some first aid supplies and went to Safevay for more. She's doing fine except for the scrapes, which will take one or two weeks to heal, we think. Afterwards Patrick and I got dinner in the Castro. We ate at Taqueria Zapata. In Spanish, zapata means shoe, and I don't know why someone would call a restaurant Shoe Taqueria, but maybe Zapata is also a family name like Shoemaker. Grocery shopping at Safeway. Home.
