It's raining but that's OK. I'm doing laundry today and I made two batches of strawberry jam. I don't hang out my laundry so the rain is no big deal. I'd much rather do indoor things on a day when it rains. Nothing is worse then having to do indoor things when it's a beautiful bright sunshiny day.

John Kerry picked John Edwards for his VP? I guess we've just got a couple of Johns running for the Democratic ticket. No pun intended.
