Slept in. No more sore throat, but I still have a mild cough. Wifi speed test: 6.83 Mbps down, 1.99 Mbps up—nice. Lunch by myself at Pines Pizza: turkey, avocado, lettuce, tomato on poppyseed bun; water (about $10). Jason and Chad walked the beach from Cherry Grove to the Pines. Lunch with Jason and Chad at Blue Whale. Jason had a cobb salad add chicken no onion no tomatoes with vinaigrette instead of ranch dressing. Chad had a burger medium rare with fries. I ate some fries from Chad's plate. Afterwards they wanted to see my hotel so I gave them a tour. Nap. Snack at Canteen: mac and cheese. Tasty and oddly served in a single layer on a paper plate rather than in a bowl. Low tea at Blue Whale. Encountered Sparkle (Alex C), met Rainbow (Michael S), Dan, Richard, Jesse, bartender Stavros, Benji, Richard, and someone else whose name I can't recall. Middle tea at Sip N Twirl with housemonster. Dinner at Pines Bistro with housemonster. I was still mostly full from the mac and cheese and ate very little. (I had not expected to be eating dinner so soon.) During our dinner a neighboring table's small service dog bit our waitress, which created an awkward situation particularly because they were not apologetic about it. Afterwards we returned to housemonster for more drinks. Later Rainbow and I went to The Pavilion and watched showtunes clips with about 40 others. Rainbow frequently sang along. To bed very late.
