Music with the Historians from Joaquin Rodrigo to Leonard Bernstein, followed by errands around campus,
beginning with another visit to the second story of the bookstore (to modify the text order, reflecting usage of the newly created volume), where the view the school's central quadrangle yields stunningly sudden construction -- time will reveal the results...
With the quad blocked off, seems reasonable to take a clockwise
loop up to the
Division of
Applied and
Fine Arts to ensure that the right material is emailed off to the ever-helpful Jason. After chatting with the Dean and him, finish the loop via the second floor of the
Registrar / Business Office (with another constructive vista) and the
staircase
(near which, catch Doug, himself on errands) from the student union quad down towards the
Music Building.
Following paper grading at
Yan's
Garden, linger in the lab to record Psalm 65, and learn from new Department Chair Brett that the College is finally expanding on course offerings, including most likely another section of Music Literature, and am tentatively offered same -- gratefully accepted, should it come to pass.
From here, off via the Caldecott and
Berkeley
to
San
Francisco,
checking
out a possible venue for Harriet and company at
St.
Cyprian's, which offers a lovely
upstairs
and practical downstairs spaces.
In the foggy Richmond, with a San Francisco Composers Chamber Orchestra board meeting at Davide's still hours away,
determine to stay on this side of the hill,
first stopping in front of a coffee shop to receive word from Brett that the Music History class is a go, and will be held in a weekly evening slot -- perhaps the standard Tuesday-night regime.
To celebrate,
head further west on Balboa and south on the Great Highway,
making a pleasant phone call to Bette and George while at Ocean Beach,
then
heading beyond to
Pacifica,
where the inland district of San Pedro Valley is still enjoying sunshine of
indeterminate
duration.
Nevertheless, the plan is now to head further down the Coast via
Devil's Slide and
Miramar Beach to
Redondo, where another link in the series of vaguely coastal walks (today partly along golf links) beckons,
from Redondo's access road, past greenhouses
and
Ocean Colony to
Miramontes Point
Road.
Upon return to the car,
cannot resist checking out the puzzling Half Moon Bay
Ritz-Carlton,
smugly sulking in the
stratus,
by what was most likely forced-upon-it coastal access.
Check out the route further south,
then
head
upcoast
(with
a
wonderfully
surreal pausa on the downslope north of the Slide,
beyond
again
through
Pacifica)
to the
SFCCO Board,
for an animated and productive evening. Send out a general inquiry email to membership upon return. Impossible to imagine that the day's other endeavors still loom, to wit...
