Breakfast at home with Patrick: hash brown; sliced green apple; omelette with red onion, pea shoots, and pecorino; 8 ounces of orange juice. Walked and rode Muni to UCSF Laurel Heights. Tested James H's installation of CKEditor 4.9.2 on my local. Styling fixes: correct pause button on home sliders, correct wysiwyg hints in tabbed interfaces. Filed pcard paperwork. Pharm identity retheme prep. Various task followup. Walked and rode Muni to the Sunset District. Dinner at Lanna Thai with Patrick: special menu B for two persons: tom yum with chicken, fish cake with cucumber salad and dipping sauce, garlic pork chop, yellow curry chicken, steamed white rice. Hot tea for me, thai iced tea for Patrick, ice water for both. Service was noticeably slow. $45.32 after a $6 tip. Afterwards I convinced Patrick to get a drink at Tiki Haven—our first visit. He ordered a hurricane. I ordered a mango banana colada. $20.90 after a $3.50 tip. Service was polite but not friendly when it arrived, but oddly when the bartender wasn't serving us she had her back to us almost the entire time, sometimes eating from a paper tray meal to go on the counter behind the bar. There were about eight patrons when we arrived and none when we left. Two pro sports events were on the three television screens. Large screen video games surrounded us at the far end of the bar. One of them was a zombie hunting game with rifles. I visited the upstairs briefly. The decor is poorly designed and poorly maintained tiki. Tired, sad, and unkempt are descriptors that come to mind. The drinks were too sweet to determine any skill or potency, but kudos for the inexpensive prices. That might be why I didn't really feel a buzz after one drink. We currently have no reason to ever return. Recharge Medical work until late: web edits, form builds.
