Breakfast at home: one egg over easy, leftover chicken apple sausage from last night, one hash brown from frozen, leftover buttered toast from last night. Processed documents that I scanned last night. Continued Recharge Medical development website build: continued adding content, resolved slug naming for non-English languages, began altering non-English outgoing links to go to automatic translations of those web pages. Lunch for me: leftover french fries and fish from Nopa, hot water. Patrick and I walked and rode Muni to the Russian Hill home of Keith B, William, and Howie to help them celebrate the completion of a recent remodel. The home has great views of Coit Tower, the Transamerica Pyramid, and more of the San Francisco skyline. We enjoyed blueberry punch, a wide variety of small bites, and lots of great company. We met or encountered Gary, John, Gray, Martin, Robin, Roxane, Carmen, Chris, Peter, Brian, Feng, David, Monty, Keith R, Pablo, MJ, Felix, and more. Hours later we said our goodbyes. Patrick and I walked to dinner in North Beach. We attempted to dine at Tony's, but it was a 90-minute wait. We attempted to dine at Original Joe's, but it was a 60-minute wait. Instead we walked to Sodini's where we were seated outdoors (at my request) within a few minutes. Ice water and menus arrived shortly. Then there was a long wait for a waiter—perhaps 10 or 15 minutes. We placed our order. Bread and butter arrived. The bread was disappointingly room temperature and seemed a bit stale but we ate it anyway because we were hungry. Caesar salad arrived. It was watery as though it had been washed but not dried. Some parts of the lettuce weren't the best quality. The croutons were great, though. Pizza #7 arrived. Fresh ingredients, lots of mozzarella made it fun/hard to move a slice to your plate. Service was also very slow at the end of the meal particularly when requesting and receiving our check. Walked and rode Muni home on a crowded bus 8 before Powell Station and the underground. Patrick went to bed. I joined not long afterwards.
