Rain rain go away!

As of yesterday afternoon, New York City has had 31.22 inches of rain for 2003. And it's still falling. Well, falling is really not the correct terminology, more like dousing, drenching, soaking, dropping buckets, submerging, saturating. And it will still come down throughout the week and next week and WILL IT EVER END! The average precipitation is 29.08 by the end of the month. On the other hand, the average precipitation for my lovely hometown in the rainy Pacific Northwest is only 20.29 inches by the end of July. So much for leaving the rainy country!

Well, not much to report. I spent a little time working on the new tank. But it really took a backseat to more domestic endeavors. I did find out (after living in this neighborhood for over 8 years) that the laundromat is really empty on Tuesday evenings. There may have to be a schedule change from the usual weekend chores.

Tonight, I am going to go see a showcase of one act plays that all take place around a pool. It's called Swim Shorts (so clever). The good news is it literally takes place at a pool. The bad news is (as noted in the first paragraph) IT"S POURING OUTSIDE!!! Well, at least it's at a hotel and a pool, so they will have an abundance of towels.
