I called around, no one wanted to take a walk with me due to the black rain cloud hovering over town (and already raining in some neighborhoods).

So I decided to go to the gym, which closed in 1 hour. Just enough time for me to change, get there, have about 30 minutes on the ellliptical with some music.

I went to change my clothes, decided I was too lazy to go to the gym and wanted to take a walk after all. So I went to my favorite park which has a huge wide open area, bundled up ready for rain.

I walked 45 minutes.

The last 43 minutes of those 45---brilliant sunshine! Fresh air, no clouds between my face and the sun. I was as happy as a cat in a sunbeam.
