Slept in. Cut my hair. Took a shower. Repaired the light over the sink which had come loose over time from it screws. Usual oatmeal breakfast. House chores and home improvement: more velcro work, vacuumed in the bedroom especially under the bed and in the closet, let the sheepskin rugs hang in the sun for a while, collected my dress shoes and stored them in shoe boxes, changed t-shirt folding methods except for long-sleeve t-shirts. Planted expired narcissus bulbs in the back yard, did some weeding and removing of cobwebs. Pre-lunch: butternut squash soup. Packed a lunch to go. Went to Baker Beach to sunbathe and eat a picnic lunch: two pastrami and fat free cheddar cheese sandwiches, triscuit crackers, whole wheat fig bars, water, dried tropical fruit, Sun chips. The water was brown-green and ugly to look at, but I made the most of relaxing in the sun with the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance and not a cloud in the sky. A funny moment: a giant seagull began to succeed in taking away a long baguette in its paper bag from inattentive beachgoers until it was chased away. I prepared notes and ideas for the volunteer website project I agreed to take on for Kevin S: LGBT viz. Shopping at Safeway. Weight training: reverse incline crunch. Worked on Danny's website: put Google map in iframe. Dinner at home by myself: boboli mini pizza with mushrooms, tomato sauce, monterey jack cheese, chives, grilled onions, garlic. Started work on LGBT viz website. Chatted with Patrick, who just returned to Handan from Hong Kong to get an extension for his visa. He had some difficulty with the trip, and we talked a little about it. He plans to write a blog entry soon about it. Bed.
