Record heat locally -- 109,
on 79th day of summer,
16th day with temps 90+ (second 100 or above) -- indeed about 95 at 11am,
heading off to the
third rehearsal of The Decameron - First Day,
with Jess completing our beautifully talented cast,
plus Tresler joining us,
seeming to
enjoy the experience as much as the
singers...
seemingly an
auspicious
sign.
Burn
basically
backroadishly
beyond to
Berkeley
(by contrast, a rather coolish 73, on the edge of the fog) to work out the details of the
Fresh Voices XIII: Mischief and Mayhem postcard with
Copyworld.
Head
over,
via
the
Richmond
Bridge
to
Marin
(580,
San Rafael,
and 101,
over Puerto Suello
to
Terra Linda
and
Pacheco
Pass)
and
Novato Toyota thereafter,
for standard maintence,
cooling heels at
then
with
renewed
vigor
back
to
place of origin
and
place
of
origin...
via
Sonoma,
past Solano's
Vallejo
Cliffs,
a brief hint of Napa,
and
more
Solano,
including
the
burned
North Lagoons...
for
inevitable-yet-
scenic
errands, composition re Page 18 of Hamlet and score-study of Alban Berg's Three Pieces for Orchestra, Op. 6, No. 1 (system 5),
with Churchill taken in sometime during the day, as well as finishing a re-reading of
Richard Brautigan's Trout Fishing in America, pondering the opera on same, and -- oh, yes --
embarking
on
a
third
bike-
pool-
spa
pilgrimage of the season.
