Up at 5:50, wrote for a few hours before getting reading for Maxine Silva's memorial service at the Chapel of the Chimes. Maxine was in her 90s when she passed away. I hope I live that long. I was privileged enough to say a few words about my interactions with her. She was instrumental in providing me with wonderful details about Oakland in the 1930s and some of the details I captured in my Julia Milan novel. She was a wonderful, timeless woman with amazing elegance and charm. She's a real inspiration to me.
After the service, we all met at Fat Lady in Jack London Square for some excellent food, drink and company. Good times until 3 p.m.
Afterward, I cleaned my place (I always seem to be cleaning, but my place always seems to be messy) in time for the Warriors/Cavs game. Richard, Lisa and Sophie came over for Star Pizza, salad, root beer, beer, and chocolate chip cookies. The game was tight all the way and the last 2 minutes of regulation were soooo stressful, but the Warriors managed to pull it out in overtime with a 108-100 win. The Cavs are tough! Should be a great series.
Just found out before bed that Season 3 premier of Hannibal is Tonight! So excited!
