Rain

It's raining and foggy here in Manhattan today and I'm homesick from the moment I wake and peer out the window. It's Seattle rain too. It's foggy and the drops small and steady. Most of the time, rain around here is totally different. The clouds come and then the lighting, the rain comes in sheets - like movie rain- and then leaves in twenty minutes. The city stops what it's doing and hangs out in doorways, watching the rain, knowing it will all be over in 10 minutes. If not sooner. Mean rain. Everything is faster in Manhattan.

I've been thinking about going back to Seattle just about every morning for the last month. Something about starting over sounds very sweet right about now.
