Cabdrivers in Manhattan must welcome the Spring rain with the same joy that farmers feel when it falls on their crops. Rain means nobody's walking; rain means everyone flags a checker cab from the curb to stay out of the mess, to try to stay dry; rain is how the money is made.

And rain means I'm having one heck of a time getting out of here.

Posting from the limo (not a single cab available) that I flagged down on 5th Avenue after my car service called to say they'd be another half hour late, on top of the one hour late they had already promised me.

It took awhile. I'm soaked.

Had hopes of catching an earlier flight home to arrive in time for at least *half* of the Devotchka show in Chicago tonight -- the show that I bought tickets for about, oh, three ago months now.

Looks like I'll be listening to stories about how great it was instead.

Waiting on a friend. Two tickets to Beckett's Endgame at BAM's Harvey Theater in my pocket. Sipping tea. A little bit tired after a long day of meetings with one more on the horizon before I head home tomorrow night.

Reminding myself that I can sleep when I'm dead.

You know you're in a college town when the cafe patrons find their seats *first* -- unloading their books and coats and gear -- before getting their coffee.

That, and there's always the geek chick in the corner who's expounding on something or other -- very loudly. (I love you, geek chick -- it's just that you're so predictable.)

Sure it's a good thing when the meeting runs two hours over because everyone's loving each other so much and cooking up new ideas -- but did it HAVE to happen on such a beautiful day? In one of the most well-appointed cities in the world? When there are so many gorgeous things to shoot? And my flight is leaving so frickin' early?

Dang.
