Usual oatmeal breakfast. Brunch with Chris, Nate, and Patrick at Cove Cafe. Nate had stayed up to read Harry Potter through the night and finished. In Cove Cafe, we saw a couple sitting at a table waiting for food to arrive. One was reading Harry Potter 7, and the other was reading Harry Potter 6. Drove downtown, parked at 5th and Mission Garage. Chris and Nate took off for home. Patrick and I attended the 4th Annual San Francisco Theater Festival at Yerba Buena Gardens. We saw at least one man reading Harry Potter 7. Stopped at the grocery on the way home. I napped for a long time. Patrick read from Harry Potter 7. Dinner at home with Patrick: sausage, broccoli, and tortellini in red sauce. Packed up a Honeywell heater for return. It had stopped working mysteriously, and it's still under warranty, so we're sending it back to Memphis for repair or replacement. Chatted with Nate on the phone. Archived documents. Fixed some broken links on Lodestar. fantasticsmag.com is perhaps the first magazine I've enjoyed reading online. It really only works well in portrait mode, and I'm more impressed with the web execution than anything else, but on the whole it's still quite well done for an online publication without a great deal of web technology sophistication. Technology humor: Slimming photos with HP digital cameras. The landlord fixed our back yard fence today. It looks very nice.
