Since very few people I actually know read this site, I can confess: I played hooky from work today.  The kids are driving me crazy and I just needed a quiet day to myself.  So, I took a day and went shopping for a raincoat.  London requires a raincoat and since I had none, I needed to get one.  I chose a sleek Calvin Klein black raincoat with a hood.  I already have a matching umbrella.  OK, London — I’m ready for you! Now, I guess I need to look for boots to match.
