Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, cacao nibs, toasted shaved coconut, sliced and toasted almonds, blueberries; hot water. Attempted to repair an Oxo bottle brush with Elmer's glue. Cleaned the bathroom. Cut my hair. Cleaned the bathroom. Showered. Snack: one TJ's bambino pepperoni pizza, hot water. Later: snack: one Venus orange. Set up eSIMs for Patrick and me for our forthcoming trip to Europe. Midafternoon snack: cashews. Rode UberX with Patrick to dinner at Keeva Indian Cuisine with Tony, Tai, Drew, Phil: palak chaat (chickpea-battered fried spinach—delicious and unusual), butter chicken, whole tandoori chicken, lamb vindaloo, fish curry, and some kind of paneer, two kinds of naan, rice, and rasmalai. We talked about pottery, airports and air travel tips, my recent visit with Paul M, New Orleans, Uber and Waymo, The Academy. The food and service were excellent, but they were very busy tonight and it took a while for the food to come out after the palak chaat. We didn't mind much, though. We learned from Rita that her brother owned A Desi Cafe on Noriega Street which Patrick and I frequented before it recently closed. Rode UberX home. Zoom chat with Lani and Dex. Lani was driving, so Dex and I chatted a bit before rescheduling. Recharge Medical work for several hours: forms: remove provider line, typographic adjustments throughout. To bed late.
