And it rained for 40 days and 40 nights....

You may have noticed that it's been awhile since I've visited these parts. Or, more likely, you've been so wrapped up in The Bachelor that you've barely bothered to notice that your girlfriend left AND took your dog. Either way, I feel for you. Life has a way of getting away from us, no??

This afternoon, I'm trapped inside by a cold October rain that is coming down in sheets. I've got a foot of standing water in my back yard, and about six inches in my front yard. I'm beginning to wonder if I've got enough wood to build that Ark. Nah, that would entail way too much work. Of course, the positive thing to come out of this is that I've got a hell of an excuse for not mowing the lawn, eh??

Lacking other options for safe and legal entertainment, I'm left to amuse myself with my own thoughts. OK, I'm not sure I'd call it entertainment, but I'm discovering that my normally Liberal sensibilities aren't always what they've seemed to be. I'll spare you the details, but you can check here or here if you really must know more. Suffice it to say that, if you ever commit a particularly brutal or heinous crime, you do NOT want to end up in my courtroom.

OK, that's all for now. I've overstayed my welcome.... Enjoy Boz Scaggs!!
