To Eddie and Jay on a rainy night in Florida

A beautiful, wonderful rain washed all my cares away.

Ain't no sunshine.. not today

Rain... wonderful rain.

And, on top of the rain.. we had thunder and lightning.
Rumbling, booming... far away and close by. Night fell and the sky lit up with distant lighting.

No hail.

Rained so much Sharon called from Maine to ask how the rain was..

The rain was cold... so cold, but it looked like summer rain.

Looks can be deceiving.. can't they.

So can online screen names and message board posters.

But, you know what? Nothing really matters.

Finally, after a long week of feeling like I got kicked in the gut and winded.. the sun went away, aint no sunshine when she's gone.. and I went away and I'm back.
And, I can breathe again.

Thank you to Harmon for keeping me watching the fence.. and knowing which side of the fence to stay on and.. to Hurricane City for making me smile and like a life line to the season, to the future... tethered a bit there with talk of Ingrid and thunderstorms over Florida and other weather related matter.

Thank you for Green Eggs and Ham.. or Corned Beef lol.

Love a rainy night as the late great Eddie used to sing...
and my brother Jay who is a rabbit astrologically. Learned the other day at lunch that I should find myself a rabbit and be happy... we seem to get along. He's a rabbit. I have a good friend in California, a real bud.. who is a rabbit. My daughter is one. My friend at work.. my one remaining friend who hasn't taken off for Maine or Macon. She goes back to Jamaica and I may go with her.

So.. to Eddie from the past and Jay who is forever my bro.. and to Desperado somewhere who refuses to get off his fence I dedicate this song.

To Eddie Rabbit :)

Well, I love a rainy night
I love a rainy night
I love to hear the thunder
Watch the lightning
When it lights up the sky
You know it makes me feel good

Well, I love a rainy night
It's such a beautiful sight
I love to feel the rain
On my face
Taste the rain on my lips
In the moonlight shadow

Showers washed
All my cares away
I wake up to a sunny day
'Cos I love a rainy night
Yeah, I love a rainy night
Well, I love a rainy night
Well, I love a rainy night

Ooh-ooh

I love a rainy night
I love a rainy night
I love to hear the thunder
Watch the lightning
When it lights up the sky
You know it makes me feel good

Well, I love a rainy night
It's such a beautiful sight
I love to feel the rain
On my face
To taste the rain on my lips
In the moonlight shadows

Puts a song
In this heart of mine
Puts a smile on my face every time

'Cos I love a rainy night
Yeah, I love a rainy night
Ooh, I love a rainy night
Yeah, I love a rainy night

Ooh-ooh

---- Instrumental Interlude ----

Showers washed
All my cares away
I wake up to a sunny day
'Cos I love a rainy night
Yeah, I love a rainy night
Well, I love a rainy night
I love a rainy night
Well, I love a rainy night
You can see it in my eyes
Yeah, I love a rainy night
Well, it makes me high
Ooh, I love a rainy night
You know I do, yeah, yeah
I love a rainy night

I love a rainy night
You can see it in my eyes..
