Sunday Rain Check

Handfuls of icy rain but also, and much more to the point, scattered hailstorms and rumbling thunderclaps of my midwestern upbringing have curiously migrated to the East Bay where they are the rarest and weirdest of occurrences... and that means no Sunday walk and brunch again this wet unwarm winter. Probably for the best: still reading a very fine if sprawling thesis by one of my grad students in preparation for her final review tomorrow. That and lecture prep more than fill this day with work and worry -- relaxation later, spring break is just one week away now. Just in time.
