JOURNAL TOPIC:
One year when I was a kid I went to a summer day camp. At the pool on at hot, sunny San Fernando day, a guy named Brick (I don't know if that was his real name :) was trying to impress a girl. "I love the rain," he said, "it washes away the..." I don't remember hearing the end of the line. I don't know if it was poetry or his personal philosophy. But for the last 40 years or so since I heard him say it, every %&*$!!! time it rains, I find myself saying silently, "I love the rain, it washes away the something something something..." Literally. I finish the line with something something something. This is both funny and deeply dissatisfying. So, dear colleagues, I am asking for your help today. Whether you love the rain or not, please rewrite this line with a better ending. Mahalo.
