I'm Thinking That Frogs Are Next

It's not a news story that the weather in SoCal is really nice. Not too hot (or humid), not too cold. The rain ends mid spring, doesn't return until late fall. So, what in the fuck was with us having thunderstorms today? No, we didn't get a sudden rush of heat and humidity, and the sidewalks didn't steam when it was done, but it was weird. The irony being that LA just went on water restrictions due to our constant state of drought. And wouldn't you know it, but Thursday is one of two days per week (Monday's the other) that we can water our lawns.

Other than that, things are getting back to normal. We've actually had dinner as a family a few times in the last week, though that got thrown out the window as they HB has evening rehearsal's for his play all week (the performances are this Saturday and Sunday). Another sign of normalcy is that the wife and I have been talking about a summer trip in a couple of weeks (CO, Black Hills/Badlands, Lewis & Clark, and Yellowstone). But, the wife's big news is that she got a 15% raise! Makes me a bit bummed because they are admitting they've been underpaying her for a while. But, since she was making about $120k, 15% is nothing to sneeze at.
