Blissfully catching up with the morning news, taking it slowly, happen to check email and discover that the last Mozart is at two, not seven or eight. So, after feverish preparations, jump into the car
for the arcane commute,
almost immediately encountering traffic,
necessitating a detour along Lyon in Lagoon Valley.
At last
cityward,
and
the
show is a great success again,
now hopefully with some more useable pictures of Sarita Cannon,
Zoltan di Bartolo,
Michelle Jasso,
Frank Johnson,
Eliza O'Malley,
Harriet March Page,
Letitia Page,
Nikola Prinz, et. al.
After loading up the vehicles,
the long way home is even longer,
yet a pleasure,
up
101
through
Marin
(Waldo Tunnel and
Grade,
Mt.
Tamalpais,
San Pedro Ridge
San Rafael and Loma Alta,
Puerto Suello,
Big Rock Ridge,
Marinwood,
Pacheco Pass,
Novato,
Mt. Burdell),
across
37,
then
north
on
Lakeville,
east on
116,
up into
Sonoma,
12 to Trinity Road,
the long snakey climb up the viewful Mayacamas
slope,
into the redwoods and mixed evergreens,
over the Napa border,
down
into
Dry
Creek
Canyon,
climbing and
descendng the
Oakville
Grade,
south on 29 past
Stags Leap and
Yountville,
semi-circling
and
vaulting
over River,
in the viewshed of Mt. George and
The Wine Guy,
leaping
through through the
Jamison
Canyon
road-widening
project
(the solution seems to be to massacre the lower north slopes, rather than compromise the valley, and, have to concede that this is probably the better solution).
Upon return, do pdf of Missa California: Gloria (page 5), detail edit of Triple Concerto for Bassoon, Contrabassoon, and Harp: III (17), and compose the next two pages (7, 8) of The Decameron - Second Day: IV. Landolfo Ruffolo Turns Corsair and Is Shipwrecked.
