Today I'm grateful for the rain we're receiving in San Diego.
It's way too early to know whether there will be too much rain,
or whether it will have a terrible impact on the places that have
fire damage. But we DO need the rain.

What I love about rain is that when I have to do an errand like
this fellow, I feel so much more alive. I probably won't do my
usual 20-25 mile weekend bike ride, but I CAN get out there for a
few miles and recapture the feelings I had as a boy, playing
football in the backyard in the snow and rain of northeast Ohio.

Pure joy!
