So...after a 4 mile walk from the house to and through the park this Sunday morning, the rain was just starting to turn from a drizzle to something more substantial as I hiked up the hill back to the house. I topped off the coffee pot and soon poured my first cup. I then joined the cats on the porch and stood at the screen door with my buddy Riley and listened as the rain played through the tall maples. Riley turned his head up the road as the sound of sirens proceeded a caravan of police cars, motorcycles and an ambulance coasting down the treacherously steep Henning Road hill. I took a sip and raised my cup as Lance Armstrong and a few companions whisked past our driveway. The coffee was an excellent organic blend from Trader Joe's that My daugther gave to my wife and me on our last visit. "What do you think Riley! It's a good thing I got my walk in before the rain."
