is yesterday’s today so once the truck was down the road we salvaged some of Saturday,
at least through lunch, and then, having eschewed the Monthly Breathwork on the corner, were
off to SF in unexpectedly light weekend traffic for a relaxed dinner before a concert honoring
our late friend Ingram Marshall at Herbst Theatre which also looked to become a reunion of sorts for people from back when we all – over forty years ago – lived in the Haight where he had
written at least one of the pieces performed that night. L. and I made it home, luckily just ahead of a partial Caldecott Tunnel closure, to the dogs’ delight and subsequent morning walk but
weren’t done yet, having scheduled acupuncture in Fairfield although happily “Fairfield” turned
out to be a verdantly anomalous industrial park in Green Valley on the one day, Sunday, 680 wasn’t closed for repairs to the Benicia water line.
Disruptions, minor, continued as Monday L. left me to lunch in Larkspur and then Tuesday
came…and went.
Wednesday in a rare midday moment out in Society we experienced the pleasant gardens and cloyingly French quease-ine* of One House Bakery with Kathryn and Greg Renfrow
and Benicia’s beloved former head librarian David Dodd [behind the camera, therefore not shown] prior to my venturing downtown seeking signs of spring and locating succulents as well
as an interesting array of miniature iridescent dinosaurs…
surely indications of Something, yes.
*For me, anyway; softly cheesy and salt-assaultive…
Yow, Michael, I just wrote a long fascinating text to you in this very spot then accidentally hit some clockwise turning icon in the upper right corner of my Pixel 6a “smart” phone. . and it disappeared!!!!!! I’m trying to get it back but if that fails I’ll write another one.
