Breakfast at home: one clementine mandarin orange. Walked and rode Muni to UCSF Laurel Heights. Snack: one clementine mandarin orange. Sprint standup. Began editing our 17-page editorial style guide before adding it to our identity microsite. Lunch at Rigolo: cheddar burger with fries, hot water. They gave me two pickle slices. I was able to eat only part of one after filling myself on the burger and fries. This afternoon our team was talking about which Hogwarts house we each are in. I did the test on Pottermore and got Ravenclaw. My patronus is the dapple grey mare. My Ollivander's wand is the pine wood with a unicorn hair core, 10 inches and rigid flexibility. Walked and rode Muni to dinner with Patrick at B-Side (201 Franklin Street). The restaurant was almost empty when we arrived about 15 minutes early for a 5:45 pm appointment. Drinks: Four Horsemen ($14) for Patrick, Welcome Home ($14) for me (and again later in the meal). Entrees: fried chicken sandwich with side salad ($16) for Patrick, crab cakes with side salad ($22) for me. Patrick's fried chicken sandwich was good but not as good as, say, the one at Hi Tops. The inside was tender and juicy, but the bread coating was not very crispy. I enjoyed my crab cakes and salad. There were only two desserts—a key lime pie and a bread pudding for two—which signaled to us that there was perhaps no pastry chef. We decided to have no dessert. Service by Michael E was good. $89.42 before a $12 tip. B-Side was almost empty when we arrived, and packed by the time we left at 6:48 pm. We attended and thoroughly enjoyed a performance by Pink Martini at SFJAZZ.
