Too much whiskey. A dog at Lowes helps, but I still have to drive back north after a stop at Rich’s Chevron to drop off a wine review.

Stopped by the house, scrapped a little paint, met the neighbor (Jeremy’s mother) when Wonderful showed up out of the blue. A lost day since I have to make time for to launder my symphony clothes.

Upside is that doing laundry I’m naked so all I can do is read the New Yorker and check email.

Dinner is salmon fillets marinated in sake lees, a greek salad, and a wonderful bottle of Ridge Vineyards wine. Jonathan is a little late — especially if you think that I ask him to show up a half an hour early… missed that, and the orginal time as well.

A close call making the symphony in time. Parking gods were with us. And the symphony was stunning — it’s amazing what a guest conductor can do with our symphony. Makes me want Gerry gone even more. It was my second time in a month to hear Debussy’s La Mer — the last time was by the London Symphony Orchestra.

Jonathan and I did a quick tour of the new house after the show — and then Jonathan was off to see if he could have a date in a dirty hotel room.

Not much work on the house, but then again, I don’t want to be getting supplies at Home Depot on a Saturday.
