  Rain of Seattle

  It"s a sin around here to not thoroughly enjoy every moment of every golden day. It"s embarrassing to answer, "Did you get out and enjoy the sunshine this weekend?" with "No, I stayed inside." Co-workers frown and exchange suspicious looks; apparently I"m one of those rain-loving slugs. I tried lying, but my pale complexion gave me away.

  Another mark in rain"s favor is that my body doesn"t betray me when it"s cold and damp outside. Throughout the winter, people wear several layers, with perhaps several extra pounds here and there. In June I dig out my shorts to discover my thighs resemble cottage cheese. I dread buying a swimsuit, as consecutive horror and humiliation make me cringe in the dressing room.

  Even my taste buds prefer the rain. When it storms outside, it"s time for steamy hot chocolate or even a soothing toddy. People devour hot, hearty meals, with lots of potatoes and savory sauces. This type of eating evaporates when the sun comes out; suddenly everyone offers salads and ice water and expects it to be satisfying.
