Rain Contradiction

It seems so unfair when you talk to people back home (Seattle, WA) and it is a mild, sunny, and nice day where they can play outside or do yardwork (yuck!) and here in New York City it is rainy and miserable. The place where it is known for rain (at least to East coasters and Californians) is not living up to it's reputation. Actually, to be fair it doesn't rain as much as people think it does, and it rarely rains hard, more of a sprinkle or overcast greyness. New York has real rain, the kind that makes you not want to make the trek over to Brooklyn (even though it's not that far). But, alas I will make the journey tonight to hear my friend Aaron's band, Dealer. They rock enough for me to get wet journeying to see them. Besides, it's Aaron's birthday as well. Ahh rain...rain go away, come again another day (like never). Bring out Spring for goodness sake. I'll be in a much better mood.
