Rain

No news is good news, right? I swim, I build robots, I go out from time to time, I stay in from time to time. I write lots and lots, and that's good. I'm learning all sorts of good things that I don't know how to put into words. It's raining out now, after a day of dark skies and heavy air. It was hard to breathe, and tense. The rain snaps and patters on the tin awnings of the nearest building. This city is very relaxing in its way. Maybe I'll go for a walk.
