Up, editing Diabolic Variations: XXVI, and out, with the fog
breaking
temporarily in Fairfield
and
for
keeps
just
beyond
the
Carquinez
Bridge,
for
mid-morning
interviews
in
San
Francisco
with
Belinda
Reynolds and
Dan Becker in preparation for The New Grove Dictionary of American Music articles and printing transcripts in 21st-Century Music.
At two-o'clock, break on their back porch for a delightul check-in with Alex Shapiro (also for Grove), telephoning her at her San Juan Island aerie, where the weather is evidently relatedly favorable.
Back in, with a pleasant wrap-up re Dan and Belinda, then over the Twin Peaks ridge on
Portola,
somehow
southwest
to
the
coast while talking with Loren Jones about San Francisco Composers Chamber Orchestra business,
then up the
Great
Highway
to
Cliff House,
Land's
End,
Lincoln
Park's
views
of
the Golden Gate,
Seacliff,
and the
Presidio,
over the Bridge
to
Marin
through
San
Rafael
to
check
the
post box, where financial greetings await.
Back on the road,
north
on
101,
east
on 37
following the
moon,
and
home to do first draft of the Melinda Wagner article for New Grove and the
Diabolic Variations: XIX video.
