But it has been close. It rained for almost three weeks before I left Texas. I was gone for 3 weeks, but was told it rained while I was gone. Then it rained for most of the last two weeks. I was told Texas was hot and dry, not overcast, humid, and wet. Fortunately, no flooding in our neighborhood.
Today was the first nice evening in a long time, so the whole family went out to the pool and splashed around (I know, I know, complain about the rain, then as soon as it dries out, head to the pool-irony is ironic, don't you think).
Number 2 child is walking and almost talking. Now if we can get Number 1 son potty trained, life would be really good.
Looking forward to a motorcycle ride this weekend if the weather holds.

weather schmeather...ride it in the rain! A little water shouldn't slow you down. Doesn't stop me from riding. Except to work, but that's only because it's hard to justify spending 10 minutes getting gear on and almost as much time taking it off for a 10 minute ride! Seems counter-productive.
Seriously, dude. People's houses were getting swept away. Two little girls drowned when a trailer park got hit by a flash flood in the middle of the night. Roads were being washed out. I wasn't just wimping out. Really. Well maybe a little.
Oh please. Aren't you scuba certified? Put some gear on and get out there and ride! Your bike oughta be able to handle avoiding a house in the road.
