Moreover, in a very selfish vein, I had been hoping that the 2016 bike race would be down Commonwealth Avenue in Madison (which would have happened had Chicago won the bid for the Olympic Games). Not that I think bike races are necessarily fun to watch from the sidelines (you see bikers speed by, big deal), but the idea of having an Olympic satellite village here was sort of charming.
It wasn’t really a completely drippy day. Oh, well, yes it was, in that it was cold and wet. At least at the times I was walking to and from connecting buses.
But I’ll pass on posting in favor of watching scenes from our National Parks. Soothing stuff. Almost as good as the glass of wine that, unfortunately, I'm told I cannot have tonight.
Ah well. Not all days can shine.
Think Rio, think Rio ;0)
ReplyDeleteI figure that those days that don't shine make us all the more thankful and appreciative of the ones that do. Hoping for a nice silver lining heading your way, Nina.
ReplyDeleteWho wouldn't need a sunbeam after a visit to the dentist's chair?! Don't they say... trying on swimsuits and going to the dentist top people's "worst" list?
