Rainy Days and Thursdays

Do you know that classic movie moment where the new york city girl is walking the sidewalks on a rainy day and she stops at an intersection, preparing to cross the street, when all of the sudden a car splashes through a huge puddle and drenches the poor girl from head to toe? Well, that exact scenario happened to me just this morning on the way to work. I was already late because of lack of sleep the night before. I was not even thinking about anything but getting to work as fast as possible. Little did I know I was about to be as wet as a kid fresh off a water ride at Hershey Park. Oh man, I have never felt so silly as I did just then. When I told my coworker michelle what had happened, she said "Welcome to New York. That has all happened to us at some point. It's like a right of passage." I think she's right.
After work, I decided to visit the Museum of the City of New York on 5th and 103rd. It was so neat! They had exhibits on the Dutch, the ecology of Manhattan in 1609 and now, toys of the 17th and 18th centuries, history of nyc trade, and performing arts history. It was fascinating! I only wish I could have been able to share it with someone. Oh well, independence is a good thing, right?
I feel much better now sitting in my living room in nice dry clothes. Hopefully this rain will quit soon or else I need to buy a new pair of wellies!
