northwest to the


Greenspace


and


Bike


Path,


then


zipping


across


town


for


errands

a


circuitous

On the Criminal Front, the Always-Lying Psychopath Seditionist


admits that he wanted to


overturn the election,


amid the illegal (and typical) tearing up of documents and


making no less than 3 attempts ot seize voting machines....

Oh, yes, and the texts-du-jour for

Book of Dreams, 2022, Op. 376 (2022)
     January 30-31
          2am New Building Put Up in SHS Parking Lot, Wrapping Paper Still On....
          4am Bob Clark Moves out of a Triple Dorm, Leaving Me w/ Dave Shaffer,
               Who Has Suddenly Been Travnsformed, and
               Now Is Totally Unreasonable and Wittily Truculent....
               Curtains Removed from All Windows, and Stuff Piled Up Everwhere on Every Flat Space,
               Shelves, Beds...
          9am Road Trip Cross-Country to a Freezing PA/NJ, Across Flat Coastal Island,
               Little Access Between 2 States in SE/SW Corner, Checking in to Ride Bus,
               Strange Unsympathetic / Sympathetic Female Clerk, No Baggage
               But a Plastic See-Through Bag, Upon Which She Writes Prominently "No Charge",
               I Don't Seem to Have Correct Papers for a While, No Coat,
               Perhaps I Will Be Able to Borrow from Mom and Dad When I Arrive,
               Some Sort of Steal Situation, Breaking Into a House,
              Avoiding a Double Who Actually Doesn't Look Like Me,
              We Finally Encounter One Another and Wonder....
              There's an Incident about How Much Payment:
              Many in Line Have Very Cheap Vouchers, Mine Is Overpriced at $50,
              She Tries to Charge $60-70, Settles on $48 and I Am Reasonably Satisfied,
              Lonely Marshlands with High Arching Bridges,
              One Taken as an Alternate to Another
              then a Long Straight Dirt Road Towards a Distant Town....


And, indeed, 29th day of spring, high back up 4 to 67 (ABA of 67-63-67 last 3 days)...

January 30 - Upending


Prepare for publication

St. Paul Suite, Op. 145 (2007)
    II. That Very Day

inspired to do this endeavor after the weekly Zoom service of


Davis Community Presbyterian Church, featuring


Kate Boxeth's re-telling of the conversion of Saul,


Chris Erdman delivering sermon on 1 Corinthians 13 (hmm, may have to do something on this, too),


another fine performance by the Chancel Choir (video pre our association),


DCC's slight alteration of the classic Lord's Prayer


(recalling my probably-not-quite-appropriate-for-church-rendition Op. 5 [1975] setting), and the


Carl Boberg (1859-1940) - How Great Thou Art (1885).


Congregational Meeting


directly follows, and this


also


encludes


very


enlightening


material.


Eventually out

for the


6th Vacaville Streets walk,


now from West Olympic Palm Parking northwest,


around the bend northeast to the Greenspace,


returning southeast toward


point of origin.


Beyond,


in search of


dining,


cross-


town,


eventually

happening


upon


Sonoma


Springs


Brewing


Company,


quite


lost

as Erik Satie (1866-1925) had it on the 2nd page, staff 2, of Gnossienne No. 3 (1890).


Interesting situation,


occupying the space of the old Library,


with views


to the


Lagoon and


Vaca


Mountains.


Onward,


homeward,


on the


28th day of spring,


high


down 4 to


63.

                  I Love You I Want To Tell About My Wife...

All the day's composition work in consort with


Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) - Symphony No. 10 in F-Sharp Minor (1911 -- ah this suspicious piece 2 days in a row!),

Jacques Ibert (1890-1962) - Escales (1922),

an old Dick van Dyke Show (1961-1966) episode from


from Season 4,


E21 - Case of the Pillow (1965), including the expertly-delivered, belabored line,


"Cheap, chopped chicken feathers."


Additionally two


Huell Howser California's Golden Parks (2002-2010) classics:


a recent repeat of


132. Carizzo Plain and


Butte County /


Chico's


Bidwell Park,


the 49th largest urban preserve in the world,


focussing on


the upper region,


evidently


known


as


Iron


Canyon --


marvelous!


Also first Family Zoom since the Calstrs confirmation...
