Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, cacao nibs, toasted slivered almonds, toasted shaved coconut, blueberries, golden raisins; hot water. Rode Muni to UCSF Parnassus. Heat still not fixed, so I used the space heater. Bridge funding followup with Shalimar X. Siteimprove linkchecking, spellchecking, and policy work. Began new year greeting html email build all morning. Followup with Julia S about a listserv question about intern jobs. Lunch with Bernard. He got a Panda Express bowl with half chow mein and half fried rice and teriyaki chicken. I got a classic burger from Cafe Bellini. We ate in my office because it was warm. We talked about Christmas Eve, El Paso, stomach flu, my idea for a television show, video games, and more. I audio-quizzed him on video games (guess the soundbite), half his answers were "Mario", and he got every one wrong. My journal came up in conversation, and I showed him it and my Flickr photos. Continued new year greeting html email build. Letterhead work for Jeff P for Jen C. Later, during the town hall, Bernard returned with some news requiring some decisionmaking, and he sought my help. I gave him advice, and he departed. Rode Muni home. Dinner at home with Patrick: bulgur wheat meatballs in a roasted garlic and olive marinara over creamy polenta, water, red wine. Afterwards we watched What If…? s2:e9 (season finale) on Disney+ with butter microwave popcorn with cheese powder. Patrick went to bed. I did some content work (Lisa K to Jen C changes) and washed dishes.
