Work on
videos ongoing,
out with Harriet
for
the
Pony Express Trail,
walking in Davis west on 8th from Oak Palms Parking
to
North Diameter, with its poignant Sir William "Billy" poster;
then east,
not to miss Mesquite Cypress --
on the
116th day of summer,
high down 2 to 93,
with Davis at 94 and
Dixon, 91,
More filmic endeavors in the evening,
partially over
Alban Berg's Wozzeck (1922), in the Metropolitan Opera's twisty William Kentridge (also responsible for similarly-designed Shostakovich Nose and Berg Lulu) production.
