Finish new pdf for Suite ("Sol[ar]"): III. Venus, continue work on same for Sinfonietta: II, and compose the third page of Psalm 73. before heading off to Diablo Valley College, gravelly road work on the last few blocks, for Week 6 of Theory, with a dictation on Claudio Monteverdi's Orfeo: Tu sei morta and quite a number of scales: E and C Minor (both Natural and Harmonic), and A and E Major. Upon return notice strange sounds when braking and turning left. Call the shop and decide it might be auspicious for them to take a look. Indeed, when backing onto the road, hear another suspicious stirring, but then,
on the
entire trip
through Solano
and
Sonoma to
Marin,
all seems well.
Discuss the situation at service, and we mutually suspect that whatever happened through the construction has worked itself out (perhaps the final noise).
As such,
head south
on 101
towards the
Golden Gate,
where the weather is so mysteriously glorious that a
swing through the
Headlands
cannot be resisted
(the steep descent of west
Conzelman Road calls up the ghosts of previous brake suspicions,
which again dissipate,
at least for present).
Looping
through
Rodeo
Valley,
back on
the brink,
and
eventually,
across the
span,
San Francisco is looking relatedly wonderful,
through the priviledged confines of
Sea Cliff
and
welcoming equanimity of
Lincoln Park
and
Point Lobos Avenue,
then
south on the
Grea
Highway
and
Skyline
Boulevard.
Beyond,
Route 1
continues its
seductive way
south through
Pacifica;
Devil's Slide;
Gray Whale,
Montara,
and
Miramar Beaches; and
Half Moon Bay, to
Miramontes
Road,
where it's time to continue the string of walks along the Coast
(continuous from Pierce Point to this intersection, with many other hikes north and south of this contiguity).
For today, a stroll will suffice to
Cowell Ranch and
Verde /
Purisima Creek
Roads,
as
the
sun,
and
some
vehicles,
give up the ghost (precisely at 7:15pm in the former's case).
Return via Verde and the Coast Road, etc., north to a San Francisco Composers Chamber Orchestra board meeting -- with Davide, David, Loren, and Phil -- then over to Potrero Hill to drop off a Regime Change CD to Lisa for Olivia.
Later, back on the home front, establish a blog (http://sfcco.blogspot.com/) for the group.
