On the Weather

I’ve been told that the English love to talk about the weather. It certainly seems that every time I mention that we’ve just moved from Los Angeles people remark something along the lines of, “you left that for sunny London? Why?”.

You might chalk it up to Karma or irony that after two years of sunny and 72° (22° C) and my never waning delight in bragging about it, that I’d end up in London.

Funny thing is, the weather’s not that bad. Having lived in Chicago for eight years this is nothing. Sure, it’s almost guaranteed to rain every day, but it’s not that cold.

I see a sequel to L.A. Story in the works: London Story (Steve Martin, call me when you're ready). They could probably pre-tape the weather.

And by 20% chance of rain, they mean 100% chance of rain, just for only 20% of the day.
