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.
