Had trouble sleeping last night. Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, cacao nibs, toasted sliced almonds, toasted shaved coconut, diced half banana, dried cherries; hot water. Nap. Lunch at home with Patrick. Patrick had hummus toast and a salad. I had TJ's vegetable stir-fry from frozen and also fried some leftover steamed white rice. Cleaned the bathroom. Repaired Sugru falling off our Squatty Potty with black gaff tape. Cut my hair. Cleaned the bathroom. Showered. Cleaned the bathroom. Wrote a recommendation for Eric on his LinkedIn page: "I hired and worked closely with Eric Davila for over 16 years and would not hesitate to work with him again. During his lengthy career at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), he grew and ably demonstrated a wide-ranging skill set that focused on the union of people, technology, and communications. He is that somewhat rare breed who can very, very deeply understand and navigate many kinds of technical details yet also shift gears to interface with layperson or less technical stakeholders with care. I have regularly been surprised at the depths of his knowledge; he carries and shares a vast wisdom. People at all levels enjoy working with him. At heart, he is a fast-thinking problem-solver who is not afraid of a challenge. If you have web, technology, or communications needs, you likely can't go wrong hiring him." Rode Muni with Patrick to dinner at Piglet & Co. Hot tea is served individually in 12-ounce Bodum Pavina double-wall glasses. Andy and I each had alishan tea; Chris and Patrick each had formosa red tea. We shared: turnip cake, pickles, furikake rice, cabbage salad, shrimp and pork toast, chicken wings, pork garlic noodles, mala bbq pork ribs. For dessert: bread pudding. The next morning our stomachs felt a bit uneasy, we suspect from some combination of gas or bloating, eating too much, or eating things we didn't usually eat.
