I am waiting for the rain. The heavy storms and potential tornados should be north of us. I am somewhat surprised I did not find myself in a hail storm or watching green black clouds. They usually come right around my birthday. I will never forget a time when I was maybe nine or ten, living in our first home in Austin on Barrington. I stood out in the backyard and looked directly up into a swirling green cloud. A baby tornado, not quite ready to descend. I must have watched it for a good five or ten minutes before my mother made me go inside.

We went to the Hut after work, which isn't such a bad place without the karoke. Plus, the drinks were cheaper than usual. Due to my lack of nourishment, they made me a little fuzzy round the edges. So we over compensated by eating enormous hamburgers, and mine was slathered in delicious honey mustard. Two hours later and I'm still full.

I miss intense storms like that; I grew up in Minnesota and we had them all the time. That doesn't happen in Massachusetts, although I suppose we have hurricanes. Never been in one yet.

We have like 87 million mutual friends, and I see you comment all over -- surely it must be time to add you to my list. Plus, meta and I are planning to move to Austin, so at some point we may be more than just virtual neighbors.
