What I didn't do today

It was about 80 degrees this afternoon in Seattle. Driving down the street today a few blocks from home, I passed a three-block long stretch of road that had sprinklers on in a wide median full of grass and trees. I found myself thinking what fun it owuld be to just pull over and go running through those sprinklers!

Of course, then I convinced myself I'd look silly, that it'd be more fun if someone was doing it with me, that I didn't want to mess up my leather seats by getting back into the car in wet clothes, that I'd do something embarassing like slipping and falling on on my butt. All of that went through my mind as I drove those three blocks. So I didn't get out and do it. I wish I had -- but at least I thought of it. :)
