A bit more rain to prime the pump

May 1, 2009 by Dave Knadler

I like rain in the morning, even knowing how much of it is going to end up in my basement. I like dark skies and thunder and the dog curled up at my feet, largely oblivious. I like the first of May, and the saturated greens of the grass and the trees viewed through rain-dappled windows. I like listening to NPR, at least for those fleeting hours before Diane Rehm comes on. Oh, and brown paper packages tied up with string …

Which is my way of saying that I have nothing else to write about this morning. On the news it’s all flash-flood warnings and swine flu precautions and Chrysler’s collapse. Not much to say about that. I have a novel on a flash drive that will embarrass me if I send it to another agent and will embarrass me more if I don’t. (One of the downsides of pretending to be a writer is that you’re expected, occasionally, to provide some evidence of it.) But the rain precludes yard work and I’ve read all the news sites, so this will be a writing day. Or a rewriting day. And this is me warming up.

More along these lines:

  • The dog days, and "August Heat"The dog days, and "August Heat"
  • diaries of a young manA little history lesson
  • miley cyrus tongueThe little blog that couldn’t
  • For your listening pleasure
  • Meandering along with ‘Mad Men’

About Dave Knadler

Obscure writer. Lazy photographer. Bashful guitarist. Perhaps too fond of wine. Tireless nemesis of New York Times crosswords, Wordle, Semantle and all other puzzles du jour.

    Looks like you will have an awesome incentive if it snows!

    Hey, what’s up with the delay in posts? You gotta get back to McBloggin, dad!
