After The Rain

    I still can't believe how quickly the rains came. One minute it was sunny and gorgeous, two older women were sitting outside sunning themselves. The next minute the sky had turned so dark it was almost black; minutes after that the rain and wind arrived. If it had not been so strange, it would have been funny to watch the women scoot away quickly. By 3:30 my brightly lit apartment needed the lamps turned on. As much as I love rain, I felt lucky that I had stepped in the house when I did.

The same areas in New York and New Jersey seem to be catching the brunt of rain. This morning the newscaster mentioned Chappaqua(sp?) this morning and I thought, why is that name familiar to me. I don't think I have ever known anyone living there and it is never in the news. Then it hit me, Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn in the movie, The Desk Set. Tracy mentions the town while he and Hepburn having lunch on the roof of her office building. It's odd that I would think of that while looking at the downed trees. I am sure that others who love movies as much as I do will understand that this stuff just stays with you.
