May 12 - Not Exactly What We Expected


Harriet's car has developed some sort of key problem, so we take t'other (which requires major re-organization to pick up performers anon) jointly to her rehearsal (rather than the luxury of rendezvousing later).  Crystal Philippi is on time at the Berkeley Bart pickup, but no Michelle,


so H and C are transported to Chamber Arts,


followed by a return for the later connection.


After dropping M off (she's not due for staging until later, anyway),


cannot resist heading


into the Hills,


swinging along


Grizzly Peak Boulevard


all the way to the


Pony Rides (reminiscing of those early years with Crystal Elizabeth),


then back via the


Merry-Go-Round and Steam Trains,


re-discovering


Lomas


Cantadas,


and


 returning down Claremont Canyon


to the wrap-up of the


Kurt Weill Happy End practice.


From here,


south to Harriet's sister's student


piano


recital,


where


we have been enticed under suspicious pretexts.


Make the best of the situation however, which concludes (at least for our part) with an impressive Chinese banquet.


Home via absent landmarks


to eventually do page 10 of the pdf to Duo Sonata No. 2 and composition of Psalm 96 (system 3), plus more work on The Decameron (101).  Somewhere after return, caravan with Harriet to the Dealership, seemingly determining that she simply needs a key replacement.
