Breakfast: Patrick had a toasted everything bagel with cream cheese. I had leftover rigatoni from frozen. Walked and rode Muni to UCSF Laurel Heights, stopping at Cal-Mart along the way for some microwave popcorn. Sprint standup. Continued resolving various PDF accessibility issues. Drinks and a game at Laureate at the Laurel Inn with Eric, James, Grant, and Levi to celebrate our successful publication of the latest Update from the Dean. The Laureate bar was remodeled in August 2018, and it's quite swank. Levi and I were surprised that they used flame tea lights instead of electric. The game Eric brought was similar to Cards Against Humanity except with tiny cards and very scarily specific to educational institutions and web projects. Levi got some olives as an appetizer and shared but mostly ate all of them himself. We talked about old School of Pharmacy yearbooks, volcanoes, Charles Bradley, trees, Portland, Seattle, NIMBYism, politics, commutes, Game of Thrones, Electric Daisy Carnival, Las Vegas, Aladdin, and more. James won the first round, and Levi won the second round. A fun time. Walked and rode Muni home. Dinner at home with Patrick: one cow burger each, with red leaf lettuce, tomato, cheddar, and various spreads, and with skinny french fries and ketchup. Dessert: Humphrey Slocombe dark chocolate with smoked sea salt ice cream topped with one half each of a peanut butter cup. Began playing The Witness for iOS on my iPad Pro with Patrick. We like it. The puzzles are challenging but not impossible to solve, and there are some breathtaking moments with the scenery.
