Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, toasted shredded coconut, toasted slivered almonds, diced half banana; hot water. Patrick and I rode Muni to lunch at The Bird on New Montgomery Street: spicy chicken sandwich and root beer for Patrick, chicken sandwich and sparkling water for me. Patrick particularly liked the apple slaw on the sandwich. He said it made them stand out. Afterwards we walked to SFMOMA where we got free admission as part of a MAX event. We arrived around 1:00 p.m. and visited floors 7, 6, 5, and 4 before stopping at the MAX private gathering. We were given a free drink ticket. The room was very darkly lit, and a DJ played loud music. The drink line was very long with seemingly only one bartender. The man in line ahead of us guessed that it would take at least 30 minutes to reach the front of the line, and I had to agree. He abandoned the event, and Patrick and I also did shortly afterwards. Patrick wanted ice cream, so we visited Ghirardhelli's. Patrick got a chocolate-dipped cone cup with chocolate ice cream and mint chocolate chip ice cream. I had a few bites. We rode Muni to the Castro and got $8 sangrias at Blush Wine Bar, sitting on the sidewalk and enjoying the warmish weather and the many passing dogs walking their humans. Dinner at Tanglad: thai iced tea and grilled pork rice vermicelli cold noodle with imperial rolls for Patrick, water and lemongrass beef with garlic noodles for me. All food and drink were delicious. Rode Muni home. Relaxed. We watched The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel s5:e6 on Amazon Prime Video.
