Vacation day. Walked to errands with Patrick: mailbox, library book drop. Breakfast at French Bakery: we each had a bacon, egg, and cheese on croissant. Patrick had a mocha, I had a hot chocolate. Errand: groceries at Safeway. Walked home. Identified and measured requirements for new network cables. We have mostly a mix of CAT 5e and CAT 6, and I'm trying to boost speeds above our current 100 Mbps, so I ordered all CAT 6 cables. Finished rewatching Star Wars: The Force Awakens via purchase from iTunes. Nap. One clementine mandarin. Rode UberX with Patrick to Kabuki Springs and Spa in Japantown. Relaxed for several hours, no massages. Afterwards we spent a few minutes in the mall watching Benihana chefs entertain their customers before a dinner reservation at nearby Izakaya Kou (415-441-9294, 1560 Fillmore Street): we shared happy hour agedashi tofu and happy hour crawfish salad. Entrees: chirashi don for Patrick, chilean sea bass for me. For dessert we shared mochi ice cream, green tea and mango. Patrick had a pint of Sapporo. $69.50 before tax and SF mandate and $14 tip. Service by Cindy S was very good. There was a long delay between Patrick's entree and my entree. Rode UberX home.
