Rain, rain, go away, come again some other day!

Well, all we seem to be getting out of Alberto is rain and rain and more and more rain.

YUK!

I also discovered a drawback of having a corner office with a window. When it rains all day, you make like 15 times more trips to the bathroom than usual. Something about the running water, I guess . . . ok, too much sharing.

Anyway, judging by the volume and nature of the email I've been getting today, I guess all the rain has left a lot of people with not enough to do.

For instance, Uncle Bill sent me this link to a web site he's been surfing: www.distantcousin.com -- I think he said he was perusing the 1859 edition of the New York City directory . . . hmmm.

And, Sarah Taylor sent this link, to put things into perspective: http://www.frontiernet.net/~cdm/age1.html

Check em out, if you're housebound or trapped in the office due to the tropical weather. I did!
