January 17 - Connecting the Lines


Thus


beginneth


the


endeth


of


the


first week re Spring 2013 DVC,


with Quiz 1 for the Theoreticians -- examples drawn from early / traditional African and Asian sources. 


Stop by,


after encountering somewhat challenging but yet serendipitous parking conditions, the Arts Division Office for typical beginning-of-semester paperwork, with the pleasant new assistant Leticia (although Jason is missed, and best wishes to him in graduate school back east). 


Make


the


jump to Marin (the first in a while it seems) for the classic paper-grading regimen at Celia's, errands including


paying the semi-yearly postbox fee,


and


returning,


relatively


heavy-traffic-free


at


this


earlier


hour (another advantage of the advanced Theory start) through the default Central / Northern California scenic splendors,


via more stops,


(seemingly every school around gets out at this time) to begin score study the Benjamin Britten Sinfonietta and compose The Decameron - Third Day: Novel VIII. "Ferondo, Having Taken a Certain Powder, Is Disinterred by the Abbot, Who Enjoys his Wife", page 3.
