Hard Bonus: Incorporate your favorite city in California

Maxxed Out!

I visited California once, but we were in L.A. in a motel, not at Big Sur. It would have been really neat to go there, since there’s options for lodging, such as cabins, inns, camping, etc. Hiking in the Rocky Mountains would be fun, as well as being able to see the various natural habitats. But, my son’s paternal side had relatives just outside of the big city, which is 6 hours away from there, so that was cool. We had fun, it was one of the better vacations I’ve been on.

In elementary school, I enjoyed reading books by Phyllis A. Whitney, and my favorite was The Mystery of the Green Cat, and was intrigued by the various hills like Nob Hill & the historic significance of the area, including the Fisherman’s Wharf – so I’ve been wanting to visit San Francisco ever since, since it would be boss to experience that.

I got the upcoming schedule for the concerts… The very 1st rehearsal for the 1st concert starts September 5, only 9 days after my rotator cuff surgery… The conductor knows that I’ll have to miss the 1st rehearsal for sure, but it depends on healing if I can make the rest of them. I’m also not sure if I’d be able to do the 1st RCB… I’m hoping things will work out sooner. I have no idea what to expect or how long it’ll take to be able to put my clarinet together & take apart… Limbo stinks. I just know that all 3 of the conductors are cool – in their own ways. I might just sign up for all of them & hope for the best, and if I need someone to put my clarinet together, let them do it so I can play… Indoor concerts have no wind, so I can turn the music without worry, unless I drop it. lol
