Walked and rode Muni to Starbucks Laurel Village. Breakfast to go: turkey bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich; cup of water no ice. No standup. Ate at my desk. Forwarded a request to the Kidney Project team. Siteimprove task followup. CSS methodologies research. Snacked on crunchy rice roll and no-salt pistachios. Rode Uber Pool to the Mission. Met Patrick for dinner at Tartine Manufactory (415-757-0007, 595 Alabama Street): drinks: for Patrick: stoney maloney (single-barrel bourbon, stonefruit tea, amaro sibona, ron del barrilito 3-star, $15); for me: manufactory "pina colada" (tartine rum blend, coconut cream, pineapple, tonka bean, sparkling wine, $17).
