April 5 - Ahead at 56
General catch-up,
and a 56th-celebration with Harriet,
walking
in
Lagoon
Valley
Park
around
the
southwestern quarter perimeter of the Lake,
with 360-degree views of the like-named Mountains,
including North and
South, plus Pleasants Valley,
the
Vaca Ridges, and
Cement Hill --
reversing
course
in
view
of
it
all
again,
then
buzzing across town to
Joe's for
dinner and
drinks,
returning
for the
ever-popular
cake and ice cream.
Later, over the impressive Matters of Race, there's parallel time for taking in the 16th Russian letter ("oh" my!) and doing an 8th compositional page of The Decameron - Fourth Day: Novel II.
