I am sitting home warm in my fleece bathrobe while the rain it raineth just outside my balcony.
A lot of people are downtown doing their best to hold a parade for the cherry blossoms. I suppose there’s no such thing as a “rain date” in Washington DC?
Poor souls, they’re really doing their best. I salute them, from the sane and dry environs of my living room.

He querido más vivir en mi pequeña casa, exenta y señora, que no en sus ricos palacios, sojuzgada y cativa.
—Fernando de Rojas, La Celestina
(I prefer living in my little house, free and my own mistress, to living in their rich palaces, downtrodden and wretched.)
