no rain, no gain

I am pretty sure we were supposed to get some serious rain from hurricane igor. but I guess that did not happen for some reason. and now I see that julia and karl have passed by without incident. ordinarily I would be all for not having a hurricane, but ordinarily I do not have a sweet new pair of rain boots that I need to take for a spin. so if tropical storm lisa could get with the program and hook me up with a little rain, I would be much obliged. thx.

I am like some sort of culinary savant. I wonder if I can parlay that into a show on the food network?

hernia

I think I just got one from this evening's apartment-wide coffee table book reorganization.
