Having discovered a rogue set of parts that somehow didn't make it to the SFCCO mailing party, decide that there is no more efficient and scenic solution than to hand deliver same to Lisa Scola Prosek today.
And, of course, getting to her country residence takes most the day,
first
via
680
to
the
Diablo Valley College Theoreticians, doing our first triadic harmonization (Conrad Paumann's Mit Ganczem Willem, 1452).
Then
financial
meanderings
and
a
detour to Walnut Creek,
where the old 2009 MacBook receives a long-overdue new battery
(miraculously still in stock) --
a couple of round-trips to
Main Street parking
in the
interval,
followed by
al fresco refreshments at a sidewalk Mediterranean place there,
subsequently
the
jump
to
Sonoma
County:
pastoral
Lakeview
and
Bodega
Roads,
spacious
Route
1
down
towards
Bodega
Bay,
hugging
the
foggy
coast
up
to
the
Russian
River,
plunging
into
its
canyon
and
back again
into the stratus at Jenner,
then
in
and
out
and
up
the
Gulch
to
the
continued
spectacular
sights
of
Meyers
Grade's
slopes,
forests,
boulders,
oaks,
grasslands,
pines,
and ridges--
plus
Fort
Ross
and
Seaview Roads to
Lisa's.
Tom joins us for a delicious Italian dinner (what else?)
and
there's time
for a ritual viewful stroll
to an evergreeny
overlook before heading back on the
long, dark (though often illumined) circuit. A second page of Alma Maria Schindler Mahler Gropius Werfel: 1901 Gustav Mahler composed upon return, on this 180th day of summer, high flaming up ten degrees to 99 locally (though another chilly world at Bodega Bay, which only reaches 65) -- 125th at 80-or-more, 64th 90+.
