Breakfast at home with Patrick: spinach and trumpet mushroom scramble, wheat toast with butter, 2 hash browns for me, hot water. Trip planning. Drove with Patrick to the Castro, found and enjoyed newly-free-again street parking after only a few minutes. Lunch at Thai House Express: mint lemonades, papaya salad with shrimp (not spicy), bbq chicken rice plate with sticky rice, ginger vegetables rice place (not spicy): $38.79 after tip. Food and service were very good. While we ate Germany won the World Cup over Argentina 1 to 0 with the staff watching excitedly on a television above the door. Only one other table ate a meal; the place was empty, unlike Forks in which we were interested until we found it was packed with noisy gamewatchers. We walked to M Spa where I made a reservation for later, then to Cafe Flore where we drank large iced chai lattes. Patrick read from a small book. I brought materials for drawing but couldn't muster the creativity and diligence for it. At the cafe I encountered Paul M and, separately, Matthew S. Paul had a friend with him but I cannot recall his name. We later encountered Milos and Jenner walking on Castro Street with a friend of theirs from Paris, said hello before continuing home. Did some font selection work on Danny's forthcoming website. Nap. Dessert at home with Patrick: fresh, cut, chilled orange honeydew—delicious. Finished watching Lincoln (2012) on Netflix DVD with Patrick. We both enjoyed this well-acted portrayal. Edited a few Kauai trip photos. Late meal: leftovers from Thai House Express with extra brown rice from a pouch.
