Rainy days in Manhattan

I know, I know I haven't posted in ages. What can I say it's a rainy day, I'm bored silly at work and I literally have nothing else to do. I don't know what it is about rainy days but it takes me back to grade school for some reason. I remember walking home from school, jumping in puddles and having Mom waiting for some type of special treat after school. Like her famous chocolate chip cookies made from scratch.

I also have a very strange association with rainy days and the old tv show Taxi. Remember that one? How could anyone forget "Iggy"? I happen to think Christopher Lloyd is a wonderful actor and I've appreciated all the rolls he has done over the years. But, I digress, why do rainy days take me back to grade school and the show taxi? Maybe it's the simple fact that it takes me back to a simpler time in my life. Sort of a mini-vacation if you will for the mind. Days long before I married and inevitably got divorced. Before I was working 60 hours a week. A time when my biggest worry was if I could stay up beyond 10pm on a school night.

So much for my walk down memory lane. I've just been snapped back into reality by my phone at work. Time for a meeting...
