Breakfast: spaghetti leftovers from last night, leftover club crackers with bacon and jalapeno, hot water. Continued patching a 2 mm crack between the sliding glass door and the jamb (west side) with wood putty. Lunch at home with Patrick: I prepared small quesadillas with mixed grated cheeses and corn salsa topped with sour cream and tomato salsa. Water to drink. Walked to the Mission District to pick up dinner. Nap. Dinner at home with Patrick: slices of Green Goddess pizza from Joyride Pizza via Too Good To Go. Hot water to drink. Walked to Copper to meet Emery, Scot B, Tim C, and Paul M for a trivia contest. Our team name was Syndipeeps. Round 1 was general knowledge. Round 2 answers were things heard in a dentist's office. Round 3 was all about Dolly Parton who passed today at the age of 80. Round 4 was photos. We placed third. We had a lot of fun. During the rounds Dolly Parton's music played. Paul had a salad with chicken, Emery and Tim each had burgers with either fries or brussels sprouts. We also encountered Saul, Brian, and ?. Afterwards Tim departed, and the rest of us walked to Blush! Wine Bar where Mean to Me was the band playing. We drank Sauternes Chateau Voigny 2019 and Moscato d´Asti, Famiglia Pasqua 2017 and chatted a while longer. Afterwards on our way out we encountered Monty and David and said hello. Everyone went home. Late snack: a slice of Patrick's cocoa banana bread topped with sugar and cacao nibs.
