Chased Awake By Early Morning Chicago Rain

[Original format at The Real Estate Lounge Chicago]

The rain came this morning.

Quick, loud, and is typically the case with rain, wet.

It came shortly after 5 am. The clock on the stove told me it was so. And though my brain was hurling invectives at me as I rose the combination of the time (nearly time to arise) along with the precarious situation of the patio furniture was enough to spur me forward. So being the responsible fellow I am, I tip-toed my bare foot way to the patio to retrieve and hurl to safety the hyacinth pads from the chairs surrounding the wrought round table where just last night Nicole and the boys and I enjoyed our evening repast.

And just as quickly as it came the rumbling early morning Chicago thunderstorm ambled by and no doubt is prompting folks east of my Edgewater location to decide if they too will tip toe damply and with bare feet to secure items unintentionally left to gather rain drops (or buckets of rain, as the case may be).

The real solution, no doubt, is to heed the echoes of parental admonitions past - if you're done, put it away. And so I vow that it will be the case next time. I will put it away. For no matter how much like a hero I feel now that I have risen early and snared a head start on the day, I might just have preferred to remain abed until my circadian rhythm reached its crescendo and urged me to rise naturally.

And there you have it.
