the music of raindrops in the darkness

up and getting ready to leave ChezDave for the city. It's extraordinarily quiet in the house this morning save for the sound of water in the drain pipes. When I was a kid I used to get up and go sit in the living room on nights like this and listen to it rain - and watch the rain strike the large front windows of my childhood home. The storms used to come in off the ocean and RAGE through our little town in the islands. There were big evergreen trees in the backyard that would whine and creak in the wind. (and according to google earth they are still there today)

It's weird how clearly and powerfully that memory comes back to me this morning. Big busy week ahead of me! New Country station website at work, visit from the corporate VP of Digital, my first concert with the men's chorus... yep. busy.

I'm going to run Miss Kate out and get on my way. Ya'll travel safely to work this morning! :)
