What is up with this Rain?

I opened this new blog a couple of days ago but today is the first chance that I have had to put anything into it. I already have a blog on my personal webpage but that is geting a little bit unwieldy with so many entries and with no search function.
I have another ulterior motive for starting this blog here on wordpress.com …. I am trying to start to write alot more in general, hoping that it helps me to increase the number of pages of my dissertation that I can write at one sitting. I have a ways to go on that book and really need in up my output before November rolls around. For those of you that I have talked to, you know why and for the rest of you, you are going to have to give me a call to find out!

As for the title of this entry, What IS up with this rain?!?! I have started cycling once again after having taken quite a number of years off from the sport. But this weather has not been cooperating this winter/spring. I seem to only be able to get in one to two rides a week in. I was planning to commute on my bicycle for the entirety of the winter. However, this CA winter has been especially unreliable and stormy. It is not that I think that I will melt if I ride in the rain. It is just that I will need to clean and dry off my bike if I do ride and that will add an extra 30 minutes to my day that I don’t presently have. Additionally, I don’t have any raingear to wear on the bike, which can make for a very uncomfortable rainy-day commute. I guess that I will just have to continue fitting my rides in when I can.
