I'm dreaming of a wet ... White. Wait. WHAT? Christmas.


"... only darkened trails of rain could paint your face upon a pane ..."

-- John Geddes, A Familiar Rain


Self portrait 12-22-13


"The sun did not shine.
It was too wet to play.
So we sat in the house.
All that cold, cold wet day."

-- Dr. Seuss, The Cat in the Hat



"'I'm still crazy. The rain feels good. I love to walk in it.'
'I don't think I'd like that,' he said.
'You might if you tried.'
'I never have.'
She licked her lips. 'Rain even tastes good.'
'What do you do, go around trying everything once?' he asked.
'Sometimes twice.'"

-- Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451



I has been raining nonstop for days here in northern Ohio.

I went outside and played in it anyway.

I'd prefer snow. But sometimes you've gotta work with what you have.

If it was snowing, I'd be up to my eyeballs in it.

Oh, wait, I am up to my eyeballs in it.
