Breakfast at home with Patrick: labneh and zaatar tartine with cucumber, 8 ounces of orange juice. Walked and rode Muni to UCSF Laurel Heights. Sprint standup. Comms prep: microsites identity retheme available for testing announcement. CPT followup: UCSF IT completed the A-Z listing, so now all followup tasks are complete. Authorize.net followup with James J, Joel, and Cindy. Lunch at desk: leftover beef pot roast and tortiglioni. Rode Uber Pool to SoMa. Met Patrick for couples counseling. Dinner at Montesacro Pinseria-Enoteca (415-795-3040, 510 Stevenson Street) with Patrick: glass of 2010 sagrantino di montefalco adanti for Patrick, glass of Di Lenardo Vineyards 2017 refosco for me. We shared rucola e parmigiano (wild arugula, shaved parmigiano reggiano, lemon and extra virgin olive oil) and casal bertone (mozzarella, crispy guanciale, pecorino, sardinian corbezzolo honey). Dessert: pinsa con crema ai pistacchi di bronte. We loved this experience. The feel seemed very Italian to Patrick. Food, drink, and service by Sonja were all delightful. $82.70 before a $12 tip. Afterwards we walked in Union Square, seeing puppies and kittens in the windows at Macy's, the Union Square Christmas tree, the ice rink, the window displays at Tiffany's, the Christmas tree at Neiman Marcus, the Winter Walk area, the lobby at the St. Francis, the Apple Store, and more. Rode UberX home.
