Breakfast at home with Patrick: oatmeal with fixins, ginger tisane. Walked and rode Muni to UCSF Laurel Heights. UCSF shuttle from Laurel Heights to Parnassus. Worked with Joel to draft links to new videos about the PharmD program from the admissions home page. Chatted briefly with Stephen B and gave him a Naked Wines discount card. Lunch at Panda Express: panda bowl with fried rice and beef with broccoli, Dasani black cherry. My fortune: There is much to be learned by listening to others. Worked from Kalmanovitz Library. Meeting with Kylie B about the payment process around the APhA Immunizations training via Eventbrite. Followup tasks. Dropped my rolling backpack at the Dean's Office Administration office for overnight parking. Rode Muni from UCSF Parnassus to Embarcadero Street Station. For dinner we had planned to dine at Blanc et Rouge but Patrick had arrived early and after scoping it decided it wasn't for us. We then met at Sacramento and Davis then briefly looked in at Harborview and again we said no. Next we tried Osha Thai but it was absurdly noisy so we left. We ended up dining at Gott's Roadside, splitting a Wisconsin sourdough burger and onion rings. To drink: water and a small chocolate shake for Patrick, water for me. $22.75 before a $1 counter service tip. It turned out to be almost as noisy as Osha Thai. Walked to the Punch Line for Best of Sacramento: Ngaio Bealum, Keith Lowell Jensen, Kiry Shabazz, and hosted by Amy Estes. We originally purchased these tickets because JR DeGuzman was on the bill, but he was replaced at the last minute by Keith Lowell Jensen. We were disappointed by the change, but all the comics were terrific, and the show nearly sold out. Drinks: drug mule then later water and another drug mule for Patrick, toasted almond then later water and a paloma for me. Soon after we also ordered regular popcorn which was delicious. I suspected that it was microwave popcorn. Service by Kayleen was very good. $60 before a $10.50 tip. Rode Lyft home. Realized from my journal that we had previously seen Ngaio Bealum at Punch Line on March 30, 2004.
