I'm home for an hour or two, in-between today's activities and going back to the church for a meeting. Much of today was spent in the car. I drove to Waynesboro to make a presentation to the Virginia Synod deans who were meeting together. Waynesboro is about a half hour past Charlottesville, and so on the way back I stopped at the UVA hospital to make a call on one of our members hospitalized there.

I thoroughly enjoyed the drive! All the way out and most of the way back, I listened to Murray Perahia playing Bach on my iPod: the Goldberg Variations and the English Suites. What contemplative hours!

And the colors of the leaves! The leaves were a few days past their peak, but what beauty out in the mountains west of Charlottesville! (Remember: it's been two years since I last saw the changing leaves of fall.)
