Rain

The biggest raindrops on Earth were recorded over Brazil and the Marshall Islands in 2004 — some of them were as large as 10 mm.

On The Edge

I live in Seattle again. School is over. I'm glad to be here, but it's hard too. Even though I am in my home-city, my life is a different life now that I've been gone so long, and I'm married, and I'm working full-time. It's all good though. These are all things that I am pleased about. Sometimes newness is overwhelming.

Something new and fantastic happened last week. Jessica and I were walking home from a restaurant, and it started to rain. About five minutes passed and the rain wasn't on us anymore, but we could see the edge of the rainfall twenty feet ahead of us. The rain cloud was moving in the same direction, so we could literally run back into the rain and out again. I was so excited that I told people who weren't noticing it.

I would love to experience that again, but I'm fine if I don't.

In other news... sometimes I forget that challenge is good.

Let's Go

I wanted to say hi to the internet.

I wanted to let you know that although I always thought Paris Hilton was silly, seeing her in the back of a police car crying her eyes out, kind of hurt my feelings a little.

I also wanted you to know that I try to avoid mentioning current events, but sometimes it seems OK to.

It also rained today.

All day it rained.

I just stared at the screen for about two minutes. I was thinking about all the events that had occurred today. I tried to extract the most interesting things, but then I felt pretentious.

And I still do.

I'm not witty enough to be cool, but I'm weird enough to be me.
