I spent most of the day working on and filing my motion starting at 6:00. I ate a pain au chocolate with a latte macchiato around 9:00 and watched the last 30 minutes of Stage 13 of the Tour won by a Swiss on a long break away.

Then I returned the sleep testing equipment at 10:00 and returned to finish my motion.

At 1:30 I heated the leftover Vietnamese soup and added two stalks of Yu Choy diced and a bundle of wheat noodles, a sliced mushroom and some rice sticks.  When the soup had boiled for a few minutes I added.  The leftover dumplings and noodles and heated the soup to a boil. I made two bowls. I added some lime juice, hoisin, and fresh cilantro.

At 2:30 I lay down for an hour.

When I awakened I made a final edit and filed the motion.

Then I checked the market and found it was another sell off in the high tech sector and a sharply down day for my portfolio.

At 4:30 I lay down for another hour nap and read more Sense and Sensibility.

Then at 6:00 I ate dinner of leftover frittata and added a baked chicken thigh with a glass of French Sauvignon Blanc.

At 6:50 we drove to the National Hispanic Cultural Center for a concert by Rufus Wainwright. I found his singing nearly unintelligible and his piano playing percussive and repetitive but his voice was very melodic and singing Hallelujah as an encore made the evening for me.

When we arrived at home we decided to have cognacs and watch Washington Week. Then we went to bed.

Bon Appetit
