Davis Community Presbyterian Church monthly Holy Happy Hour moved into Fellowship Hall --


on the


168th day of


summer,


high up


 2 to


 104,


locally and in


 Davis --


good to catch up with


Tony and all,


but


soon


time to


transition for


Band practice


followed


by


planning for


both the


Cabaret (7pm, Saturday October 1)


as well as

Amahl and


the Nativity (part of the DCC Christmas Concert, 4pm, Sunday December 11).


Before all this, finish editing orchestration of

The Nativity According to St. Matthew, Op. 72 (1998)

with

     IX.  An Angel of the Lord

as well as page 55

The Decameron - Third Day, Op. 205 (2012)

and do what's texturally necessary for

Book of Dreams, 2022, Op. 376 (2022).


Against these labours,

the ongoing psaga of the psearch of the psimpering Psychopath's Moral-Pstye-a-Lardo,


a re-run of a Stephen Colbert (b. 1964) interview with Adam Schiff (b. 1960), plus


John Fetterman (b. 1969) on the campaign trail.


And, just like that, the lights go out -- becoming clear pretty soon that this is at least a neighborhood houtage, so,


out we go, ascertaining pretty quickly tht it must be connected to an I-80 accident (this has happened before) --



circling homeward to wait it out.


Turns out the waiting is not as long as expecte for...


voila!


But is connecting back to a Ron DeSantis story an improvement?  (well, at least one of his attempts at oppression has been at least temorarilly struck down)....
