Lazed around until time to go to lead the noon tour at CHM. As often happens, the 2pm tour had been canceled for lack of a docent. As often happens I thought about being a hero and sticking around to do another tour. As usual, I decide Nahh.
Something I read online pointed me to a movie, Bob Dylan: the other side of the mirror, a documentary made up of all Dylan’s appearances at the Newport Folk Festival in 1963, 64 and 65. No commentary, just performance video. Turns out, it’s on Amazon Prime for $3.99. What the heck, so I showed it to myself. Good stuff.
That, plus an episode of Mr. Bean, brought me to 9:45, which is when there was to be fireworks from Stanford Stadium, following a MLS game. So up to the 11th floor and out on the roof. It was a nice fireworks show, and closer than the nearest ones will be on Tuesday. The onshore breeze made nice patterns from the smoke, too.
