May 20 - Gradations


First day off after the semester,


but that would be too easy --


so,


off


to


Marin for standard maintenance,


borrowing a loaner cart


towards


Diablo,


hoping for a rendezvous with Doug, to ensure that the marvelous Paige recordings re Portraits of ___ (Some Multiple of 3) Women are preserved over the break.


After an early lunch break --


composing page 10 Sinfonia, Op. 241 --


make the connection,


save the files,



rendezvous with Carol for paper-grading and Opus work,


assist her with a car-pickup,


and


head


back


to


Marin for the car-exchange


(which somehow includes free food and drink, so we'll take it),


and


eventually


homeward


via


580


and 80 -- through Contra Costa and


Solano


(with a brief Napa


interval)


-- to continue evaluations on the 79th day of summer,


high again 75


(68, 62, 64 respectively in Pleasant Hill / Pinole / Novato)...
