I’ve been thinking about things puddling around my feet for a while now. Emotions, words, things other than water. Then as if by magic this ultimate question about rain came up. You might see this idea explored some more if you read regularly.

I might be a little tritina obsessed. I was double checking this to see if you wrote one. It’s pretty close, Thom 🙂

I’m going to have to research that Nate. I have been reading the buzz in the coffeehouse but I haven’t studied it yet. Maybe I’ll try it soon.
