May 2 - At Ease



Upon


reaching the


Nelson



Bikeway,


have


now


walked


a


continuous


path across town (c. 14 miles) --


a first for Harriet and second pour moi.


Retrace


steps,


automobilewise,


to


Joe's Creekside for another aperitif-and-appetiser assignation,


returning to continue a day of catch-up,


including more engaging


videos, in tandem to the editing of pages 7 and 8 respectively of The Decameron - Fourth Day: X and Psalm 122, on the 53rd day of summer, high 87 (13th to achieve 80-or-better)

May 1 - Alive


Off to Marin in the afternoon, for the first time in quite a while, paper-grading at Celia's and major financial greetings at the post box (New Music Publications and Recordings royalties from ASCAP), errands about town,


homeward on


101


and


37


across


Sonoma


(past


Sears Point Mountain)


and


Solano


(over Napa River Bridge


towards


Vallejo Cliffs),


I-80


northeast


over


the


Sulfur


Springs, on the 52nd day of summer, highest temperature of the year, and first at 90-or better, at exactly the delineation.


Upon return to Harriet, edit page 6 and 7 respectively of The Decameron - Fourth Day: X and Psalm 122, over more intriguing


videos.


The interval starts southwestward to magic Music Theory machinations with Jackson (re Carlos Santana),


a particularly well-received Dictation / Board-Harmony on


Elton John's Lion King,


an on-the-spot


Seventh-Chord Quiz


(substituting in Monte's class),


another attempt to rendezvous with Arts Division personnel,


and the jump coastward via Taylor,


Deer Hill,


24


(Orinda Canyon), and


580


(Point Richmond).

Additionally, finish score-study of Alan Hovhaness's Symphony No. 1, Op. 17: Andante maestoso (1937 - yet again, four pages total)...
