January 4- Watching the Light Lying


Takes seemingly forever to get out of the house -- with details including a half page of edits for Diabolic Variations: XV over breakfast with Harriet, another page (3) composed for Psalm 46, mailing out belated Christmas / New Years cards, and the heater explodes just before leaving (just a little pop, so we turn it off, have Dependable come over and look take a look and price a new one, ultimately arranging to have the work done on first business day upon return)  --


but at last in the setting sun moving out towards


Yolo


Causeway and


Sacramento, and down 99 for variety,


hitting challenging fog in the Valley and


lingering snow over the Tehachapis, spending the night at Castaic Inn, across the border into greater Los Angeles's mild climes.
