MARK ALBURGER, 2022: May 6

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

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)
