Breakfast at home: plain yogurt with pumpkin cinnamon granola, hot water. Party planning. Cleaned the soles of my heated slippers with Dawn PowerWash. Lunch with a subset of The Syndicate at Hulu Wa (3970 17th Street): Tuan, Scot, JY, Pachooey, Andy, Tim C, Ray, Stavros. We shared around 11 dishes. All food, drink, and service were very good. We talked about Texas, Dallas, San Antonio, San Diego, Disneyland, Anaheim, Alien: Earth, Foundation, dogs, the newly announced iPhone Air, Reed L, gay cruises, Grindr, restaurants, The Cafe, the Japanese decor inside this Chinese restaurant, Michael I, Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast, parents and their health issues, and more. My fortune: Do not underestimate yourself. Human beings have unlimited potentials. Continued marble repair: light sanding in a small spot on the kitchen countertop. Printed safe space signs for Recharge Medical. While doing so I encountered smeared ink on our Epson XP-7100. Paper guide cleaning did not fix it. Print head nozzle check revealed smearing. I ran print head cleaning twice and that seemed to fix it. I ran out of blank white index cards, so I walked to Cliff's and back to get more. After printing the four cards I laminated them. Sent some invitations. Organized paperwork. Dinner at home with Patrick: shrimp and pineapple tacos with lime crema, avocado, and cilantro; hot water. I processed dirty dishes then started the dishwasher. We watched The Sandman s2:e7 on Netflix then Star Trek: Strange New Worlds s3:e10 (season finale) on Paramount+. Patrick went to bed. Cutting board wood butter treatment.
