Breakfast at home with Patrick: cinnamon-pecan scones from Thorough Bread and Pastry, sliced apple, chocolate mint tea. Nap. Rode UberX with Patrick to Proposition Chicken on Market Street for lunch: fried chicken sandwiches for both, mine with kale subbed for spicy slaw. Root beer for Patrick, water for me. Afterwards we walked to Mr. S Leather and browsed but bought nothing. We walked to an errand on Market Street near Safeway, then continued toward the Castro. I left Patrick at The Pilsner Inn then continued to an eye doctor appointment, encountering Kerry on the way. At my eye doctor appointment I received new multifocal contact lenses that immediately seemed to work better than other multifocal lenses I have tried in the past. I returned to the Pilsner to retrieve Patrick, saying goodbye to Kerry. Patrick and I walked to the Castro, stopping at Rolo on Market where we bought camoflauge shorts for both of us because we liked the way they fit (but mine will still need some alteration). We dined at Poesia: happy hour appetizers and drinks: rustico, polpette, sbagliato, diablo. One roast chicken entree to share. Dessert: one tiramisu to share. Patrick also had an espresso. $71.61 before a $13 tip. Afterwards we stopped at several bars in the Castro before staying at Toad Hall where we had one round of cucumber-lime vodka cocktails. Rode UberX home. Today I contacted Apple Support about the H key on my iPad Pro Magic Keyboard not working. I was unable to reproduce the problem with it, so I might upgrade this year to a new iPad and sell this one.
