the rainbow

Yesterday, we saw a rainbow . . . in LA . . . a FULL RAINBOW - from one end to the other. As I was driving home from work last night, it began to rain. It was real rain with big, fat raindrops coming down all at once. I can count on one hand the amount of times it rains in LA in a year, and that is including the wimpy drizzle mist they usually call rain out here. I spotted the rainbow as I turned onto Santa Monica Boulevard only a few blocks from home and it caught me completely off guard. My second thought was of CB - I wanted him to see it too. (first thought - confusion, double-take, mouth open, awe)

Of course, after I parked the car, rushed up the stairs, called to CB and got him out to the front of the building, I slipped down three stairs and ended up on my back side in a puddle of water. Yeah, moment ruined. CB got me back upstairs, but by the time he got back out to take a another look, the rainbow was gone.

These are the little things I can't wait to share with our girl. I have only seen one FULL RAINBOW before this - it was in Hawaii (land of rainbows). I got a picture of that one . . . now let's see if I can get it posted on this blog.

*Doesn't look like Hawaii, you say? Well, let me assure you that on all my "glamourous" business trips to Hawaii, this is usually what I see.

By the way, I'm fine - bruised back, bruised elbow and strained muscle in the neck, but otherwise good to go.
