A private soiree at Roxx in Martinez, holding a wake for Tony March (1945-2021) --
down
beauteous
I-
80
over
the
Vaca Mountains
through
Fairfield,
unto
Cordelia
Junction
bending
southwest
on
680,
over
Benicia Bridge,
making
our
way via
Marina Vista
and Main
to
a popular-music restaurant
transformed
tonight
into
a
family
memorial
to
Harriet's brother /
Maria's husband --
and
we
pay
tribute
to
a
life
well-lived,
in
the military,
California,
Oregon,
as
we
share
a
delightful
and
serious
situational
mindfulness
moments
of
craziness,
a
delicious
sumptuous
repast,
with
another
main
element
being
the
presentation
of
brother
Rodie's
1990
abstract
portrait --
and
it
is very
well-received (having have been displayed at our house for the past couple of years).
Time
to
head
out
for
the
group
group

at

bidding
our
final-
for-
now
farewells --
on
the
227th day of summer,
high down 7 to 74
(Fairfield, 72
Martinez, 67)
Back
on
680 North
in sunset
and
fading
light,
with the talisman of
Tony faithfully in tow, so to speak,
