Ankle gout much improved. Took an easy 2mi walk after breakfast with no problems.
Joanne and I met for a late lunch at 12:30. We won’t be having supper until 7:30 so we hit the Channing House Sunday Brunch layout hard. Then off to my room for a nap and to read.
At 3:45 we met at the garage and headed out for Oakland, to the Piedmont Piano Company on San Pablo (which is not in the Piedmont district, but whatever). Same place and same event as February 2025, a concert by pianists Stephanie Trick and Paolo Alderighi. I’ve been a fan of her for probably 15 years. It was an excellent concert.
The show wrapped up at 6:30 and we headed out to supper at a place that Joanne had booked, the Parkside Grille in Portola Valley. It’s been there a long time but I had never been in it. It was excellent also, comfortable, quiet, good service. We had some good, solid talk about “us” and what our relationship should be. We are in good agreement on all points.
