May 6 - Pointedly
Out for a pre-Mother's Day late lunch with Harriet at
Makse,
the latest incarnation of the
Main Street restaurant adjacent to
Ulatis Creek --
a nice, but pricey, repast --
on the 69th of summer, high up 3 to 79.
Before this, the 60th walk on the Vacaville Streets series: today, northwest on Pepper and
Ponderosa southwest to
Aspen.
Takes a while to get to our culinary destination,
since the original goal was Tahoe Joe's, which proves no longer extant;
so,
we go
crosstown,
just casting about.
Afterwards,
it's
circuitous
homebound,
via
80
and
Orange, in an interval which also marks the anniversary of the
Fall of Aqaba (1917, memorably depicted in Lawrence of Arabia, 1962) and birthday re
Vladimir Ashkenazy (b. 1937).
Be it also known, the update on the complete Works site for
Symphony No. 7 ("Tragicomic"), Op. 101 (2001),
2 more pages (35-36) edited in
Oboe Concerto ("Wanderer"), Op. 118 (2004), and
codify the nocturnal mysteries of
Book of Dreams, 2022, Op. 376 (2022)
