My friend Elaine and I had planned to walk today about 4:30 — unless it rained. At a little after 4 I went to the office restroom to change into my walking clothes and on my way back to my office I happened to notice the sidewalks were wet. ARGH! It had not rained all day.

Because Elaine had warned me the night before that she would not walk in the rain, I was prepared. Since I had already changed my clothes I decided to walk at the park anyway.

I was driving that direction and it started raining harder and harder. Then I remembered: There is a reason I don’t do rain in the winter — it’s cold and miserable!

I ended up driving past the park and heading straight home. Yeah, I’m a wimp.
