A second dress rehearsal and performance of Ernest Bloch's Sacred Service (with the Diablo Valley College Philharmonic and Chorus) at
Temple Isaiah in Lafayette,
taking a break between with many familiar friendly folks, including
Lori Garvey and
Carol Reynolds.
So transported by it all, fail to notice that the wallet has gone awol (probably due to leaning so far forward when playing the oboe these days, due to occular challenges) --
driving almost to the bridge before noticing,
heading
back to no
avail,
continuing on in
melancholy until finally thinking to check the cellphone, and -- voila! -- Lori has called to say that the billfold is found, passed on to Owen Lee, from whom it can be obtained at some point. Relief!
Before all this, compose a second page of Hamlet and
head
down
to the musical festivities.
After
make
the
rest
of
the way home and plan for the summer
Music History course -- 12 4-hour (!) sessions, so the best that can be conceived is each meeting as
[ 1 1/2 hours + 15-minute break ] x 2 + a half-hour quiz, focussing on the first dozen weeks of the 16-week Fall / Spring course.
