We
have
arrived,
Bette and George
(including
a recitation of Geoffery Chaucer and
phone message from George Crumb),
then
off --
via the
Media
Bypass,
Blue
Route,
and
Baltimore
Pike --
to
Swarthmore
College
to
track down Bela Bartok's Dance Suite,
and
catch
up with whomever is around
including Librarian Donna Fornier, who determines that the score is checked out to a faculty member, since the due date is February 15[!]) and
Conductor Andrew Hauze,
who has the copy out.
Agreeing to rendezvous later,
there's
time
for
strolling
about
campus,
touring
through
Sproul Observatory
and
Clothier
Memorial
Cloisters,
eventually
striding
(or,
shall we say,
"meandering")
down
Parish Lawn
and
crosstown
to
the
Media/Elwyn Line and
Chester Road,
visiting
the
Alumni
Relations
and
Development
Offices,
greeting
Lisa Lee,
then
back
past
town,
under
rail,
up
Magill
Walk,
towards Sharples
and the
Tower,
in
view
of
McCabe,
toward
storied
halls
and
through
same,
by
bold
buildings,
via verdant
vias,
back
to
Music,
to see how Bernadette Dunning and Debbie How are doing,
writing a
second page
for
Portraits of ___(Some Multiple of 3) Women: XV. Two Sisters,
and heading to
Andrew's residence
to borrow
the music.
Beyond
this,
visit the old homestead,
so changed,
subsequently
past
Chambers Memorial Presbyterian Church to
Linden Avenue,
and ultimately
Anna's
for cheesesteaks and hoagies,
back
to
B &
G's with the local repast,
then off again
for a
spell with
Don
Gosnay and family,
and
finally
re-returning
late,
and
missing the 235th day of summer back home (high 79), as compared to a bracing 53 locally...
