Usual oatmeal breakfast. Morning run: 10 minutes. I've been going easy on the running lately because my knee has been hurting again a tad and I must avoid making it worse because Remi's camping trip is next weekend. House chores. Discover that the Mac Mini does not print to the new printer now even though it successfully did yesterday. Neither Windows computers are on, but that shouldn't make a difference because the printer is on a wireless print server. No time to check this out now. Drove to the Castro, not realizing that today is the Castro Street Fair. The streets are closed off, and there's no parking anywhere nearby, so I park the car at Alvarado and Castro and wait for a bus. I wait about 10 or 15 minutes and no bus. The route might have been altered. I grab the first cab I can, it gets me down there around 1:15 PM. I meet Patrick at Books, Inc. and we go to lunch at the Thai restaurant on Market and Sanchez. I catch a cab back to the car, then drive to REI where I use my dividend to purchase a Pelican 2270 VersaBrite II—a flashlight which previously had been hard to find. Stopped at Walgreens on the way home for soap. Home. Dinner at home with Patrick: bow ties with marinara and pig (Italian sausage), salad, chocolate chip cookies.
