Today, our lovely island of Key West is to be assaulted by Tropical Storm Bonnie. Although, from past experience, Bonnie's "assault" will feel more like a caress. A little rain, some wind, just enough thunder to let you know she's out there. . .Personally it sounds like bliss. What is more relaxing than the sound of a light thunderstorm? The rain on the metal roof? Perfection. Makes me want to curl up in bed with my horribly tattered copy of "The Secret Garden" or "Alice in Wonderland." (Obviously my taste in books reflects my taste in movies, as mentioned in earlier posts.)
So with Bonnie nearly upon us, I break out the books, my favorite fleece blanket, and a little Chris Botti. If you haven't heard Chris Botti, I suggest you start. "She Comes from Somewhere", "My Funny Valentine", "Cinema Paradiso", and "Con Te Partio (Time to Say Goodbye)" are a few of my favorites. While it wasn't our intention when Iris and I started this blog, I have realized that we often list ways for you to do things like destressing, etc. So here is Sam's Ultimate-Rainy-Day Soundtrack

Well, I'm off to brave the storm while washing the car.
