Rain Rain Go Away!

What is up with this rain? This is not Vancouver rain. I suppose technically it is Vancouver rain, as it is in fact raining and this is in fact Vancouver, but to me Vancouver rain is light, misty and drizzly and lasts for days on end. But this? This is hard driving, windshield wipers on high, umbrella wrecking, slanted sideways pouring rain that lasts for days on end. Hmm. Rain often reminds me of one of my favourite Deep Thoughts. It goes something like this: If a child asks you why it's raining, it's fun to say, "Because god is crying." And if the child asks, "Why is god crying?" it's good to answer, "Because of something you did." But anyway, back to this new variant of Vancouver rain...I don't like it. It makes me want to not leave the house. It makes me want to sit on a couch, eat chili, and watch football all day long. Which is pretty much what I did today. When will it end? Paul says May, I say April, Donna says we're being pessimistic. But she's wrong, as it could end in June. Or never.
