Solstice.
Up 6 am.
Read a few p. Each of Brooks and Davies.
Notebook 3 p. (some of it just scheduling).
Read 5 p. of Middlemarch.
Emails, texts, and the like 9-10:30 or so. Accomplished a fair bit. Sent KSPC a pic to promote my show.
Therapy w/ Bree.
Watched last night’s Jeopardy! w/ Dad, got out of the house around 12:30.
Lost 30-40 min. in construction traffic driving to Pomona; frustrating, but at least I listened to most of an Anthony Braxton CD (4 compositions from 1992, not sure exact title of record, but Ted Reichman is on it).
Wrote for a scant hr. at Terra Mia on Indian Hill just above Holt. Wrote a shorter, more usable version of yesterday’s graf; other details can wait for the TPA chapter.
Did a drive-thru covid test at a CVS on Garey (my reason for heading that direction); done by 3:30.
Made my semi-annual stop at Glass House Records on Holt — bought a dozen or so LPs inc. some for the new wave show; only item more than $8 was a copy of Phil Ochs’ Gunfight at Carnegie Hall, which you don’t see often. Put a lot of stuff back after a quick spin at the listening station. Left at 5.
More Braxton on the way home, and the first few tracks from Nels Cline, New Monastery; all Andrew Hill compositions, w/ Bobby Bradford.
Dad was watching A Beautiful Mind when I got home. I read to p. 25 of Brooks + worked on Schubert & Bach for 30 min. before dinner. Heard from Laura C. — sounds like I got out of NYC just in time, virus-wise.
Watched Jeopardy! and an L&O.
Started new poetry notebook.
Read to p. 50 in Brooks, a few more pages of Middlemarch. Lights out 11:30.
