Rising to one orb as the
other sets,
the way is down 80 (past the Lagoon
and
over
the
Sulfur
Springs
Mountains),
over
mostly
flat
and
occasionally fog-bound 37 through Solano
and
Sonoma's
Land
Trust
to
Marin,
and down 101 to touch base with Crystal and Christina.
We decide that the new walking appointment will be earlier in the week henceforth,
so its hence to
errands,
picking up back issues of the April 2011 back issue of 21st-Century Music in Berkeley,
then
onward
to
DVC for Quiz 8, 19th-Century Harmony, with the Theoreticians, featuring musical examples drawn from Frederic Chopin, Richard Wagner, Giuseppe Verdi, Georges Bizet, Erik Satie, and Charles Ives (all pre-20th-Century selections, of course, even in the latter two cases).
Anticipating the third rehearsal of The Dark Serenade San Francisco Composers Chamber Orchestra program on a beautiful day,
cannot resist heading to the coast early and circuitously,
via
680,
237 through
Milpitas, 101,
Oregon Expressway,
ascending
Page
Mill
Road,
up
to
and
beyond
Skyline
Drive,
aloft
on
and
down
Alpine
Road,
eventually
to
the
pastoral
polis
and
plantations
of
Pescadero
(which
pharms
rather
than
phishes),
intersecting with Route 1,
up the
coast
past
Marsh
and
Beaches
(including Dairy Gultch,
(Pomponio
San
Gregorio
Creek
Valley,
and
Tunitas
Cliffs)
to --
yes,
again --
Triple
D
Ranch.
Walk south
from here,
slanting upward
and
downward of a gentle divide to
Tunitas
Road,
Beach,
Canyon,
Headlands,
and
Bridge.
Back
to the
car,
carefully,
yet
mas
rapido,
Redondo
Beach,
Half
Moon
Bay,
The
Farmer's
Daughter
Fruit
Stand,
Pilar
Point,
Montara,
the
dizzy
heights
of
Devil's
Slide,
Gray
Whale
Cove,
Pacifica (including
Linda Mar
and
Rockaway Beaches),
and
Daly City slide by to
Lick-Wilmerding,
for
rehearsal,
which goes quite well.
Home thereafter for late night musical and literary activities (Page 10 pdf for Aerial Requiem, composition of 5th sheet Psalm 77 and 21 re The Cop and the Anthem, completing a reading of
W.H. Auden Some Poems).
