Breakfast at home: leftover beef stew, one pint of hot water. Walked and rode Muni to UCSF Laurel Heights. Sprint standup. Task followup. Three-hour Gallup action plan meeting, including lunch from Mandalay. I had Mandalay special noodles. Susie got balada and one of the fruit salads to share. We also played a fun game of Just One, which involved guessing words given non-matching clues provided by others. Began manually converting TRANSPERS newsletters from PDF to HTML. Walked and rode Muni to Hayes Valley. Dinner at Suppenküche (415-252-9289, 525 Laguna St) with Patrick: Patrick had a Grevensteiner Kellerbier, I had a glass of Karp-Schreiber Red Karp Regent. We shared a pretzel with two kinds of mustard. Patrick had a breaded pork chop. I had a pork wiener schnitzel. For dessert we shared a Bienenstich (bee sting cake), with which I had a glass of Spätlese riesling (because they were out of muscat and there was no other proper dessert wine). $108.82 after tax and before tip. Service by Sarah T was excellent. We enjoyed all the food and drink. Entree portions are very large. Table 13 in the back was probably quieter than the raucous front room even though all seats were filled and it was still very noisy. Rode UberX home.
