We had three days straight of sunshine. Then yesterday afternoon, the NorEast deluge returned and lasted straight on until the morning. Mike and I look at each other and say, "Remember that time in Belgium...14 consecutive days of rain and we were outa there!" But in Belgium we didn't have jobs or a lease. The good old days...not really, but you know what I am getting at.
There is a great lesson in here somewhere about sticking it out---after all we are in the industry we love...and that same year that we high-tailed it home from Europe because of the rain resulted in one of the hottest summers on record in that same area with folks dying from the heat all over France and the surrounding countries. Still, it is a bit discouraging to go to sleep to the rain and wake up to the rain in the middle of June. Sigh.
True to form, the small hound maintains her glorious attitude---never minding what the weather holds for her day. A little bit o' the drink doesn't do a thing to her spirits. She smells bad from having that "wet-dog" syndrome---but it really doesn't seem to warp her spirits any.
In any case---the weekend looks like it will be a scorcher here---near 100 degrees with all the humidity that goes along with it. We are heading back to Connecticut to do the Houstonic Hills Race. It looks like a hard one with 1500' of climbing per lap and over 80 miles. In the meantime we are doing our best to stay dry and paste smiles on our face.
At least it isn't snowing! Have a fabulous Thursday!
P.S. Mom is toughing through some really tough "chemo" days---her spirits are good but she had a rough couple of days. I love all of you for asking!
