June 30 - Telling Tales


Triple bill rehearsal of Mark Alburger's The Decameron - First Day,



Allan Crossman's Mozart Where Are You?, and


John Bilotta's Quantum Mechanic --


spread out over the course of the day at San Francisco Community Music Center, preparing for the July 5-6 Fresh Voices XIII: Mischief and Mayhem show, presented at same.


Before this,


out


the


door


down to the city,


coffee with Harriet on Mission,


returning to venue for


Crossman


and


Bilotta.


Between


those


and  


Decameron,


an


adventure-


outing


to


the


old


haunts of


Pacifica,


returning for Boccaccio et al.


Winding up the day, homeward to compose page 42 of Hamlet -- 


third day of 100+ temps in a row -- 105, tying two days ago, on the 100th day of summer, 25th 90-or-better, 5th 100-or-beyond).


By contrast, San Francisco a mild 71 today (at least officially somewhere on Van Ness Avenue, it seems), on only their 37th day of summer, none above 90...


Oh, and, OK, Berkeley, for the record, since we're there and through a lot: 78 for the day's high, 51st summer day, one above 90 at 91 (on May 2, when it was exactly that warm much farther inland, too)...


And even Pacifica: 69 today, 29 days of summer, none above 90...
