Raining in LA

We just came through a big rain, despite old '90's tunes that sang the opposite... for LA this is normal in December/January... Ironically, in my recent memory it usually happens during Christmas week. I liken it to the snow/'white' christmas of the midwest. I remember, fondly, the snow moving people indoors and socializing in a deeper way with some tea or coffee. When it rains here, it seems like it has a similar effect... but with some disonance, as the culture here is consummed with Sun.

I found this music from our good friends Josh and Elle, about 'raindrops' is it were, fitting on such a rainy day... A song is below; Morning Coffee; by an artist in Japan... Julie is a big morning coffee person, I'm not so much, but this music was a delight during the cloudy days... which have turned for 'the better' today... (the better because I've become a part of the cultural norm-although, I'm more easy to resist it when the rains come by enjoying it. One way that I did this was had our runners out in the rain last friday... at first they complained, "we don't even go out in the rain!" - this is why the rain here is likened to 'snow days' back east. To my, and their surprise, at the end of the run, drenched and soaking wet, they all love it! One or two of them shifted their cultural out look of rain... or so I hope;)
