Smiling in the Rain

I am only posting today something just so that creepy optical illusion picture from yesterday doesn’t freak out my visitors. It makes me dizzy when I look at it.

Boston is being hammered by a stalled Atlantic storm system. I welcome the rain but spit on the wind. Not in the wind, just on it.

I saw a girl today walking down the street sans parapluie, wearing a big ole grin on her face as 25-mph wind hurled rain into it. She looked like one of those over-achieving collegiate femme nerds, with a tumefied backpack and practical, sporty style. And her “I’ll smile in the rain” cheerifulness was admirable, but she looked like a lunatic. Somedays I try to smile for no reason except to brighten the world. Today I just couldn’t muster the moxie.

Here’s all I can offer to you today: www.bitchmakemeasandwich.com. If you’re looking for my birthday present, may I suggest this lovely beer mug?
