Attention turns to Marin,
for the marriage bid;
email in the early morning
with a nice response by mid-day.
Now second nature to fill out the
license application, and
all seems on course for a Zoom wedding!,
which, in many ways, will be better than live, since family and friends from all over will be able to attend.
Very
helpuful
letter overall and
we make all ready, planning to hand-deliver w/ Harriet, tomorrow....
Early on,
discover that the World Book Encyclopedia, 1965, article on Mexico occludes the Baja Peninsula,
includes many dated prejudices and sterotypes, but has several photos of
Popocatepetl (Popoca = "Smoking"; Tepetl = Mountain)
which, in Emma Turnbull's Davis Community Church Choir, makes a nice tongue-twister when allied to "Copper-Plated Kettle"...
Check out Merrick Garland's reasonably semi-encouraging delivery re the Justice Department's ongoing work on January 6 criminals -- hoping he goes straight to the Great Lyring Psychopathic Criminal eventually... then
out
mid-day
to
2020 taxes with Kim,
on this fifth day of spring,
high up 2 to 61 (new highest of the calendar year),
finishing

Steven
Spielberg's

Mario Castelnuevo-Tedesco's Piano Concerto No. 1, Op. 46 (1927), and
evil "saying the quiet part out loud" Peter Navarro.
