Singin'in the Absence of Rain

I would never tell you what to do with your body, but if I did, if I made a tinsy-winsy suggestion these days, it would be to get wet on your own terms. Soon, Seattle, the clouds will have more to say about how wet we get than we do, but today, in August, we get to decide. So choose a slice of lake and jump or wade. Sneak over a fence into a pool. Run through a sprinkler. Set up the Slip 'n Slide. Today the water is here to heal you, to play with you, to wake you up up up to the sun.
