Physically thwarted from getting to rehearsal last night by traffic stopped on Sweeten Creek. I sat through eight changes of the traffic light at Givens Estates and not one car had moved. Death-defying U-turn and came home. 

Our return to All Souls may be delayed as long as a year because of infra-structure issues in Biltmore Village. When do delays and setbacks become the sign to move on? One must distinguish between habit and commitment. 

Picked up groceries for DJ. The man in charge of the operation there had the face of an Orthodox icon, lean and wide-eyed and holy. His conversation was about how to make things easier next time, but coming from that visage it sounded like prophesy.
