All's well,
and,
when out on errands,
Valerie Salcedo arrives,
and we drive down to SF,
on this chilly second day of fall, high 66 (as it was on the first of autumn, back on October 20 -- .03 precip for a modest .14 since July 1... Pinole, 62 / San Francisco, 65),
dining at Connecticut Yankee, before the resounding rehearsal,
and the editing of page 1 Tropes on Benjamin Britten's Songs from the Chinese, Op. 271: V. Depression somewhere in the mix...
