5.345 boogie woogie

Sunday 11/10/2024

Started the day the old coffee shop in Midtown. Meant to do the big puzzle there, but the pen I had brought went dry two words in. Drove around the foothills a bit coming back, saw an old VW camper burning, on Alpine road at 280.

Just before 2pm Scott and June pulled up and they and Joanne and I were off in the Prius for SFJazz for the Boogie Woogie Festival. The Performing Arts Garage was full, but we had budgeted time well. Diverted to Civic Center garage and hoofed it back to SFJazz in plenty of time.

The show ran 4pm to after 7pm, excellent show although we all agreed not as great as last year’s. Walked back to Civic Center and told the GPS, “Go Home”. Unfortunately Caltrans had blocked off the southbound ramp and we had an uncomfortable 20 minutes of poking around the south of Market area trying to find an open ramp to 101. Driving in the dark on unfamiliar streets — no problem at all. Annoying but not a serious problem. Guess I don’t have to give up the keys just yet.

Back home, no supper, but a nice sandwich in my room and so to bed. Busy day tomorrow.
