this morning #2136.

this morning, as soon as rehearsal was over, i bid the cast a hasty adieu. hustled out to the parking lot & hopped in my car. i knew i’d be cutting it close but i simply don’t know how to say “no.” instead, i chose to come to rehearsal first and then head out to the airport to pick up an old pal. had to. haven’t seen each other in forever. the whole way there, almost every light was green. smooth sailing but as soon as i pulled onto the highway, my fortunes changed. your classic sunday morning traffic jam. probably some idiot accident up ahead. GREAT. i started to sweat. rolled down the window to let in the mountain breeze. resigned to my fate, i sent a heads up text to my friend. hoped that my excessive “sorries” would make it ok.
