Personal Minutia: weather

Oh, I love bad weather.
Well, California bad anyway....temperature in the low 60's, enough rain to keep the streets wet. Basically an excuse to take the warm coat out of mothballs, dust off the shoulders and dig the forgotten change and ticket stubs out of the pockets.

A lot of my wardrobe is a product of magical thinking...wishing it was cold, pretending I don't live in a coastal desert, believing in the need for 3 scarves, 4 hats & 6 sweaters to survive our 'winter'. If a cloud passes in front of the sun I bundle up even though I know I'll end up wretched and sweaty.

But today's great.
I put on a sweater, wore a hat, walked to work in the rain. Even dug the umbrella out of the closet.
And I only got a little sweaty...
