After watering the plants, and discovering that the San Jose Mercury had reprinted last week’s NYT crossword (a major screwup), I decided to walk the mile to the Palo Alto Clay and Glass festival. This is an annual thing that I’ve usually gotten an email about beforehand, but not this year. I noticed the cluster of tents and marquees when starting for San Jose yesterday.
Anyway that was a nice walk and a tour around looking at all the pottery and blown glass craft stuff. Nothing worth buying or photographing.
After lunch it was time to join the carpool to the Pear theater, this time as a passenger not a driver. The play was Constellations. That linked Wiki article has a terse synopsis of the plot but doesn’t give the flavor. The idea is there is a multi-verse, where on different time lines the same people might make different choices, or not. There are at least three time-lines with scenes repeated almost but not quite word for word. It was complicated. Interesting, touching sometimes.
That was about it for the day. Quiet evening reading and TV.
