sun?

fishing boats in the rare and waning sunlight, steveston, january 14th.

it appears as though we've just missed breaking the rain record, at two days shy of 29. it's really too bad, because breaking records is cool. and come on, now all that's happened is we've endured 27 days of rain for nothing; no bragging rights. on the other hand, sun is pretty awesome. i nearly forgot the comfort of uv light warming my face. i feel like a mole who has just come out from the blackness of his tunnel, now exposed and vulnerable, his face grossly contorted from squinting.

it was good to be outside without rain. it's been a while. and no better place to spend the day than at historic steveston with some great friends eating some great fish and chips. thanks to erin for the incredible dinner that followed, and for the support and reassurance partaking of my first coffee in a month. i've decided that i'm going to become a social drinker. but maybe it's similar to alcoholism, where all it takes is a drop on the lips and i'll be done for, reverting back to my previous ways. i'll let you know.

update- january 16th- it's now been three days and three coffees. predictions, anyone? i blame erin. and jj bean. and coffee in general.
