King of rain



King of rain - I'd like to think. As Paul said, does Lance Armstrong hide in the kitchen when it rains? Does Craig Morris? No, he pours himself a glass of red wine and sits down with the paper listening to cool jazz (Cassandra Wilson if you're interested).


Today it absolutely poured, flooding many local roads, so it would have been silly to risk a ride. I thought I'd go to the gym instead to assuage my guilt, but I couldn't even get there and its only 2 miles up the road. The main road was stopped solid and the alternate route was under three feet of water with a couple of abandoned cars afloat for good measure. So, I did the honourable thing and came home, plugged in the ipod, poured the wine and read the paper, in anticipation of watching today's stage of the Tour, which no doubt will be played out under a blistering sun. Oh I love the rain. Lance would be proud of me.
