Another beautiful early November day for the drive to Diablo, with Paul McCartney's Yesterday (first seven bars) for dictation and board harmony, with voice-leading for keeps. Before that, compose page 18 of Pini di Surriento and orchestrate page 5 of The Gospel According to St. Matthew: XXVII. The Sower.
After, past Orinda, the Bay Bridge has reopened, and over we go, then down the Pacifica Coast again to Half Moon Bay finishing a walk along the now-dirt
frontage road of California Highway 1 to Main Street at the
McDonalds and an
old ranch (everyone needs goals), then back in the car, past
Devils Slide,
Pacifica, and
Skyline's moony views of San Bruno Mountain, to pick up Clare for
San Francisco Composers Chamber Orchestra second rehearsal of the Haunted House Science Fiction Quiz Show program. Home late, to the publication-preparation and visual libretto to
Sex and the Bible: 6. Israel in Trouble: VII. How To Depart.
