Continued running Grand Canyon National Park Virtual Rim to River Run Down South Kaibab Trail 4k via Treadmill TV on YouTube, passing the intersection at Tonto West and Tip Off and continuing until I saw a lake below. I passed a charming set of mule trains (at 1 hour, 42 minutes). The views are breathtaking, even at 1080p. Breakfast at home: one Chelan Anjou pear (very crispy), one banana, a slice of ginger-molasses cake that we had saved in the freezer, water. Walked and rode Muni to UCSF Laurel Heights, listening to the entirety of The Top Part by John Mulaney via Hoopla via SFPL. Sprint standup. More orgchart work (finad). Read CSS Layout News issue 233. For lunch I ate some roasted, unsalted peanuts. Then I tried making oil-free, salt-free popcorn from the microwave popcorn popper, but this second batch of rehydrated popcorn failed to pop properly. The kernels were twisted onto themselves in a strange way and tasted too tough. Too much water, perhaps? Lunch at Bean Sprouts at the JCC, my first time. I had a roasted veggie pizza (red bell pepper, onions, zucchini) and water. $10. The restaurant seems like it's designed to be fun for kids and barely acceptable for adults. Afterwards I visited Katz Snyder Gallery for Big Bellies, an exhibition of art by developmentally disabled artists. My favorites were the papier-mache grapes and the pointillismesque details of works similar to the cupcake dessert platter. Editorial style guide editing. QBC and grad programs followup. Created a sign promoting our screen and scientific poster presentation templates. Susie gave me a ride home. Dinner at home with Patrick: brined pork chops quinoa pilaf and side salad, water. Dessert: Patrick had a slice of buttermilk pie, I had a slice of red velvet cake, both leftover that we had saved in the freezer. Washed dishes. Hand mended a towel that was fraying. Password management. Edited Presidio photos.
