6.179 long walk, planning

Sunday 06/01/2025

In the morning I took the car out and put gas in it for the month. (I’m really not using the car that much; I think very seriously about getting rid of it.) Then walked the Cal ave market and bought a bit of fruit. Got a bit misty-eyed at this. For years Marian and I would buy fruit at that market on a Sunday morning for the week’s meals.

After lunch I met with Joanne for a walk to the Palo Alto Congregational Church, which is a bit over a mile away on Louis @ Embarcadero. This was to hear a choir concert of 60s songs, sing-along and ice cream social. Been looking forward to this for weeks. Woopsie — it had been cancelled. Well, postponed to 8/31. We continued our walk to the relatively nearby Edgewood Plaza for coffees, then back to CH. My phone shows 12K steps, 4.5 miles for the day.

Coming out of supper I spotted Jerry, who had originally told me about the concert, and he was very apologetic. The director and pianist had both come down with covid 2 days before, and the news went out on the Congregational Church email list. Which we are not on, obvs.

Well we had a nice two-hour walk and coffee date, and made plans for next week. Joanne wants to see a movie, Jane Austen Wrecked My Life, so I got the info where it was playing and when, and made reservations. That’ll be Wednesday.
