I'm only happy when it rains

Or not. Last night I made a mental note to wear a raincoat today as the weather forecasts showed a 90% chance of rain.
Aaaand I remembered that as I was getting on the bus this morning. While I do have a small portable umbrella... if it rains as I'm going home I'm just going to get soaked.

What is the lesson, Grasshopper? Mental notes are worth the paper they are written on.

vittoriosa asked:

1. Best meal you've ever had?
   Masas for the wife's birthday a few years ago. The food was spectacular, the ambience lovely, the service attentive without being solicitious. The best three hours I've ever spent having a meal.
   ...I still want to hit the French Laundry though.


2. Who or what inspired you to pursue a career in your particular field?
   I was an Econ/Math major and I graduated in '91 when there were very few jobs to be had, especially in southern CA. An SCA friend worked for a mutual fund company and I started there as a phone rep taking transaction calls. I gradually moved into portfolio management from there.


3. How did you and your other half meet? :-)
   Brocc's South Bay dance practice.


4. Favorite theatrical role so far? Dream role?
   My best bit had to be my pants falling down onstage as Trivilino (huge audience laugh!) but I still look back on our high school production of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, with a short German exchange student playing Mrs. Ratched. It was very, very intense. I played Cheswick, one of the other inmates.


5. Biggest moment of "culture shock" when you lived in France?
   Going to a private Jesuit school after a lifetime of public secular education? Not having breakfast?
   No, I think it was being told that showering every day was wasteful.
