Up around 8 or so. It felt good to sleep in. We went to In-n-Out for lunch, a hambuger each, fried onions for Alice, then Bath, Bed & Beyond for a new Black&Decker Dustbuster to replace the one that no longer charges properly. After BB&B, we headed to Straud's for taco fixings for tomorrow's dinner. We also went to Ross for a few other items like tongs (for me) and scissors (for me and Alice). Alice bought a bread pan to bake her almond bread. We'll do that tomorrow, too.
We came back home around 1, did our thing for several hours, then took MUNI and BART to 19th Street Oakland for the Paramount Theater performance of the Oakland Symphony's Violins of Hope that included a Vivaldi concerto for three violins, a ballet piece performed by the Oakland ballet, and Mahler's 4th Symphony.
The performance was very moving. Violins of Hope features violins used by actual musicians at the Death Camps during the Holocaust. The instruments were restored and are now part of a traveling collection.
Wonderful performance. I never tire of Mahler's 4th Symphony. Took BART and MUNI home and in bed by 11:30.
