Well, the weather turned out better than forecast. Rain ended by noon and the clouds broke this afternoon. Got in a nice walk to break in my new shoes even.
And came up with a new story for the comp. Just starting on it now. It's more complete in my head than the previous attempt so this is the one that might stick. Even if it is a bit on the weird side. Okay, probably a lot, but we'll see how it comes out in the end.
