December 29 - Wide Open Spaces


More computer, continued sketching, taking in Ken Burns's The National Parks: America's Best Idea --


in the evening,


out to the


library,


then


again


 (but for the first time in awhile,



specifically since the trip there-and-back to Seattle),


with


Harriet,


on


the


Alamo


Creek


Bike


Trail,


now


from


its identity Road to the


northwestern end, near the inaccessible (or so one still assumes) Lagoon Mountain Pass (from this side, that is) and


back in the


gathering gloom.


Dinner, for the most part as a welcome gift from Bette and George, at Red Lobster (got to have that Admiral's Platter).  More Burns and composition late (Double Piano Concerto: III, 24).
