In case you haven’t heard, we’ve been getting a lot of rain in these parts lately. We’ve basically had rain every day for the last month. Seattle had its 27th consecutive rainy day on Saturday. We had a reprieve this weekend, and actually got to enjoy a bit of sun, but the rain is back with a vengeance today. Generally speaking, I don’t think that we deserve our rainy stereotype, but even I am ready for a change in the weather. The combination of dark skies, hard rain, and faded road lines make for a stressful commute, and daily lunchtime walks are a lot less enjoyable.

Today wasn’t all gloom, though; the kids had the day off school, so Julie brought them to Bellingham and we had lunch together at the “wood fire pizza” restaurant near the office. We all enjoyed our pizza and a little extra time together.
