Breakfast at home: breakfast sandwich: hash brown, veggie pattie, egg with italian seasonings on kaiser roll; 8 ounces of carrot juice. Rode Muni to UCSF Parnassus. UCSF shuttle from Parnassus to Laurel Heights. Along the way I continued studying Spanish on Duolingo. Sprint standup. Microsites work: Student Helpdesk. Followup with a request for a new listserv. Followup with a legal name change. Microsites work: Residencies edits. No lunch. Rode Lyft Line to the Castro, arriving early for an eye doctor appointment. I received new multifocal lenses to try for a few days. I visited Cliff's for sewing notions. Patrick arrived. We dined at Catch at table 42/1 (on the patio across from the center fireplace along the inner wall) with service by Cathleen. Cocktails: nutty mandarin for Patrick, tangerine ginger margarita for me. Appetizers: crab beignets, burrata salad, bread and butter. Entrees: mixed grill for Patrick, striped bass with crab risotto for me. Patrick had a glass of Riff pinot grigio with dinner. Dessert: we shared tiramisu and a molten chocolate cake. I had a glass of Bonterra muscat with dessert. We enjoyed everything. About $180 after a 20% tip. We rode Lyft home. I began an installation of El Capitan on my MacBook Air and let it install while I slept. I tried on another new Orlebar Brown boys size 12 shirt, again a perfect fit.
