Ran in place to Apple Music videos on Apple TV on my iPad Pro. Breakfast at home: medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, cinnamon, diced plum; water. Shower. Walked to the Music Concourse in Golden Gate Park where I met Drew. We talked and walked, seeing the newly opened Skystar ferris wheel, the Pool of Enchantment, and various outdoor sculptures before exploring and resting on a bench in the Botanical Garden, enjoying the beautiful landscape and a gaggle. I shared Patrick's zucchini bread. We did not touch, and we ate at separate moments. Drew returned home. I walked to 9th and Lincoln and ordered a late lunch from Pacific Catch: two-piece Atlantic cod fish and chips with furikake fries, tartar sauce, and a tiny side of cole slaw. To drink, a thai iced tea. I picked up my meal at a window facing Lincoln then ate it at the bleachers at the nearby baseball diamond in the park. Many people were enjoying the park in these last days of San Francisco "summer" and nearly all of them were masked due to the current pandemic. I walked home via 9th, then Kirkham, then 23rd. Dinner at home with Patrick: leftover kashmiri chicken with polenta and marinara for Patrick, leftover kashmiri chicken with steamed white rice for me, water. Afterwards we finished watching Deathtrap (1982) on Netflix DVD along with mezcal margaritas. So many fun surprises. Then we watched It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966) on Apple TV+. Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, pumpkin pie spice, blueberries.
