Rain, Rain, Don't Go Away

I know a lot of us have had lots of snow and rain in recent weeks -- months, even! But I'm annoyed by TV weather people who turn rain into a villain. Sure, there may be inconveniences, but Mother Nature is just that: a nurturing presence. Don't lose your minds. We need rain for those veggies you eat in restaurants or purchase at supermarkets. I need rain for my garden, and, truth be told, by cats, Frankie and Sammie Dee, prefer rainwater to what I give them from the tap and even from relatively expensive bottles of Poland Springs!

Rain is a good thing.

  1. I teach Swedish (and French) at Oglethorpe University and have become interested in the novel written in Swedish and published in 1969 of Victor Tyus. In searching the Web, I came across your article from 2006 which refers to Victor Tyus. I therefore would like to be in contact with you about his writing career and life in Sweden. I am giving a paper on the novel at the meeting of the College Language Association in Brooklyn Thursday April 8. It would be great if we could meet while I am in New York. Sincerely, Jay Lutz
