Morning project was to take a hike. Joanne had organized it, and other walkers were me, Joanne #2 and her partner Erika. Martha was to come but begged off at the last minute. So in Joanne #2’s car off to Arastradero preserve. It was a very nice day, cool with clouds and everything green.
We saw deer and wild turkeys. The male turkeys were showing off.
After lunch Joanne and I drove to the Stanford campus and scouted the approach and parking situation for the Frost Amphitheater. I’ve never been in this outdoor concert arena, and Joanne doesn’t remember doing so either, even though she practically lived on campus for a couple of decades.
Tomorrow night we are going to a David Byrne concert, and it will be a big deal, lots of people. Eventually we decided we would eat at some restaurant in the Town & Country center and leave the car there, and walk across campus to Frost.
Another resident, Romie, has suggested that we do something for an upcoming thing in July, me on guitar and her with her cello. Today Joanne was playing music from her phone through the car stereo and Leonard Cohen’s “You Got Me Singing” came on, which has a super simple guitar accompaniment with a violin part. Perfect! I spent an hour getting sheet music for it to show Romie.
