          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...

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.
