Great practice, and overjoyed to know that there's a good chance that the spirit of each piece will be captured! --

the

day

starting

bit

dicely,

attempting

timely medical appointments,

then heroically blasting

southwest on

I-80

through

Cherry Glen,

the

Vaca

Mountains,

and

Poverty

Hills

to Fairfield

and a difficult petrol stop...

then onward

over

the

Sulfur

Springs,

via

American

Canyon

Contra Costa

and

Alameda

San Francisco,

dropping

Harriet off at

Goat

Hall

for

get-together

with

Miriam Lewis

and

Martha Cooper,

by-n-by

east

19th

Avenue,

north

on Pennsylvania

looping

280

South,

Alemany

Gap

past Daly City and

Lick-Wilmerding,

onto

Southest,

scenic

spectacuar

Skyline

north from San Mateo

San Francisco (broad views north to Inverness Ridge, Mt. Tamalpais, and the Pacific, and

and more intimate ones to near ridges

Lake

Merced and Mt. Davidson),

Great Highway

north,

east

Sloat

then -- whoops! --

north on 19th,

only to finally turn around when Bette calls to report nice circumstances but with little interest in goings-on here.

Eventually,

park in the church's staff lot,

and shiver the way

to the

impressive front door,

on the 228th day of "summer" --

Martinez, 77

Is it possible to have had enough time to place

on the Complete works Site?
