| Rest after shelf and before lunch |
Lazy morning then bam Sheila force marched S and I up hill to the shelf and then up hill on the shelf. Already near exhaustion she tricked us onto a steeper alternate path to the pinnacle of Wilson Point where the oxygen was even less available. Fortunately hunger stopped further onslaughts and we stumbled back to Lion Street for a light lunch of cheese and lentils supplemented by a few crusts.
Later we will go to Ventura to see Little Women the movie and later still we plan to hear a friend of Skip's and Sheila's (who may be god parents to the musician's children Raif and Barlow) play at the Vine night spot just down the street.
So we went on down the river to Ventura and saw the movie at 3 pm and it was good by way of sumptuousness and sheer realistic romanticism and surely more compelling than Adam Ant of previous south central coastal movie choices. There was kind of a cultural intersection moment with 12 or 14 Hispanic youth of Ventura in an elevator to a third floor bar downtown. A sumptuous dinner of leftovers was had following our return to Ojai in a Fit. And then we went to the Vine and Danny's band made our skin vibrate; the customers were on their feet and passing cars were blowing their horns, probably. An authentic feeling of accomplishment ended the day in the driveway.
