Breakfast at home: one egg sunny side up over a bed of country-style spanish rice with grated sharp cheddar, side of black beans, 8 ounces of orange juice. Spent a few hours setting Sam up with my five-year-old iMac. Vacuuming. Troubleshot and resolved "The backup disk image ... sparsebundle ... is already in use" on Patrick's iMac using the C12 solution (all computers off, power-cycle the Time Capsule, on the problem computer remove and readd the Time Capsule volume in Time Machine system prefs, no prior backups are lost). Muni to Union Square. Waited for Danny, but he didn't show up. I find out later he had forgotten his phone. We connect when he calls me from Phil's phone. The plan is he will pick me up on his scooter, and we ride to the Mission for brunch with Phil, Drew, and Romy. I gave them a miniloaf of pecan-banana bread. Brunch at Grub with PDDR. Drew had two eggs scrambled with side of ham and side salad, Romy had a three-egg frittata with chorizo and maine lobster, Phil had chorizo hash, Danny had a chicken sandwich with pomme frites, I had peanut-butter french toast with rice-krispies-encrusted fried chicken breast and one sunny-side-up egg and side of cole slaw. Bottomless mimosas for Romy, Phil, and me. Walked to the Castro. Restroom at Badlands. Groceries at Mollie Stone's Castro. L train home. Caught up on journaling. Watched Keep The Lights On (2012) on Netflix DVD with Patrick.
