Breakfast: leftover breakfast potatoes with leftover fritatta, small side of blueberries with local honey, hot water, tangerine juice. Set up a new wallet. Old wallet: black El Portal card holder with belt clip. New wallet: similar, Bulliant brick brown 7490. Trash management. Unloaded photos from my iPhone 16 Pro. Edited new content for Recharge Medical. Lunch at home with Patrick: TJ's kimbap, tangerine juice. In the evening I rode Uber to 15th Avenue House, then Drew drove Tai, Phil, and me to Quyen and Dave's for a gathering called Visitor from the North. In attendance: Nate, Quyen, Dave, Drew, Tai, Phil, Jen, Shawn, Quan, Fei, Chris G (whom I hadn't seen in years), Mark, Jonathan, and a few others I did not meet or did not recall their names. We talked about dogs (leonbergers, weimaraners, training, behaviors, and more), politics and the economy(everything happening in the news right now), travel (Japan, New Orleans, Los Angeles, and more), various relationships (friends, parents), airlines (ZipAir, French Bee). Dinner was Popeye's fried chicken not spicy, pickled vegetables, Quyen's fried rice, and a variety of sauces and hot sauces. Two desserts: tiramisu and tres leches cake. Tai drove us home. A fine evening.
