July 29 - Sky Streaks


Up early for the only day this week,


under tropical skies initially,


then


fog,


then


fairly


gorgeous


again


for


the


appointed walk with Crystal and


Stanley,


making


our


way


to


Plateau


Hill


then


an


about


face



back


for errands


before


vaulting


over


to


Diablo Valley


College, recording what may be the second-to-last collection of

All the BBC Sound Files
LI. London
LII. Rural Backgrounds
LIII. India and Nepal Citylife
LIV. India, Pakistan, and Nepal Countryside
LV. Footsteps I.


Receive the proof from Mona Lyn Reese for the interview,


then head


south


on


680, west via 237, to 101 and the


U.S. Geological Survey Map Store in


Menlo Park to pick up topos of the Tahoe and San Jacinto areas.


Return


north


on


680,


to


Skyline


Drive, the


Great Highway,


arcing west and


north through San Francisco, over the Golden Gate,


back


to


the


sunshine of


Marin,


Sonoma,


and


Solano --


towards


a


rendezvous


home for dinner with Harriet and the evening's musical tasks (part nine of the Missa "The a Deux": III. Credo, begin Psalm 68, orchestrate page 71 of The Countess Cathleen, edit the ninth video for The Bald Soprano).
