April Showers...

It has been almost nonstop rain in the Bay Area for the last few weeks. I was about to look into putting some money in Ark futures. Yes it is cloudy and gray here a lot of the time, but it doesn't rain that frequently. So about 1pm today, the rain stopped and the clouds dissipated a bit. I didn't want to chance fate and wish for some sun, but low and behold, around 3:30pm, the sun made a much needed appearance. The city came alive this evening. People brought their dogs out for some much needed exercise, joggers returned to Church Street with a vengeance, and the stores in my neighborhood cautiously returned their street displays outside (as seen above). There was a feeling of contentment and relief in the air to be able to leave the umbrellas at home. Sadly, it is supposed to rain the next two days, but after that, there is hope for the weekend.

I had a lazy day today. Had lunch and coffee with a new friend, went running before sunset, and then hung out with Brian and some of his peeps tonight at the Pillsner. Is it me or has the crowd in that bar changed drastically since when I first went there? Good stuff all around though. Cuidate.
