Continued reviewing my China trip journal and repaired entries from loose notetaking. Rode Lyft to North Beach. Brunch at The Barbary Coast with Paul, Danny, and Drew. Paul and I had chiliquiles, Danny had french toast, Drew had fried chicken eggs benedict. Food was delicious, and service was very good. Afterwards Danny left to run errands, and Drew, Paul, and I visited St. Peter's and Paul's Cathedral. Afterwards we walked through Chinatown back to downtown then got drinks at St. Regis where Paul demonstrated the safety feature of the linear fireplace: a sensor detects a hand approaching and turns off the gas; it relights automatically after a minute or two. Drew left for home. Paul and I visited the free parts of SFMOMA then rode Muni to the Castro. Drinks at Lookout where Paul's friend Doug met us. We visited Hi Tops for another drink. Paul and Doug left to go to the Persian dinner Paul had arranged at his place. I rode Lyft home. Dinner at home with Patrick: Green Chef moroccan tempeh kebabs with squash and tomatoes, spiced couscous, herb sauce; water. Watched various videos on YouTube with Patrick: Disneyland Forever (castle view), Pirates of the Caribbean. More China trip journal review. Shoe maintenance (ending stretching of Clarks Newood Street white 2 of 2, starting stretching of Tsubo Wexler II black 1 of 2). Caught up on journaling.
