So once again I have woken up to an absolutely perfect day in the Pacific Northwest. Not a cloud in the sky, temps in the 70's, and I can smell the ocean. Kate and I have been here for almost two months now and we could count the rainy days on one hand. This may all sound wonderful but it is starting to drive me nuts. This is because I no longer have any free time. I make coffee, I go to class, I do homework, and I sleep. And everyday that I wake up to an absolutely perfect day, I think to myself "Today would be a good day for a hike."
Kate spoke of ambivalence on her blog, well I'll give you ambivalence: beautiful weather, beautiful mountains, and no time to climb them.
My prayer for today: Rain please come. Cover the skys in darkness; erase my view of the beauty around me, so that I can spend long hours of my day sitting at this desk reading and writing, unencumbered by the strong desire to escape into the wild.

i feel like 10% bad for you
it has done nothing but rain and storm here. last week tornado's touched down in west chicaago and all the football games had to be cancelled. last night was homecoming and it rained and was 48 degrees. I didn't go.
so i truly hope when i come next week-end you still have this weather or i will be mad!
mom
i know the feeling, Seattle just isn't that rainy of a city.....
