June 26 - Focus Factor


An enrollment error proves problematic in Piano --

after class,


head up the

but

way


down,


through Lagoon Valley,


Cordelia


Junction,


and


the


680


corridor's


wham-


bam-


thank-


you


of


scenic-delight



sights.  And -- after composition of page 38 Hamlet and class preparation --


head back


southwestward for the next session with the
