I spent my entire career trying to stay dry

and I just came inside and I am soaking wet.

Funny how that works. 

I happened to look out the window just after the cloud overhead let go and started pelting down a rain of monsoon proportions and saw the two little kids from across the street running through it and laughed.

Then I got the idea of donning my ratty old bush jacket and safari hat and going outside to enjoy a hard, warm summer rain.

It was rather nice for a change of pace. I enjoyed it even though I spent my entire career trying to stay dry.

Now I sit here soaked to the bone but feeling pretty good about myself and in a minute I'll take a shower and dry off.
