Shorts and rain

When I first moved to the east coast, about 75% of my closet was
shorts and short sleeves. Now, 6 years later, I'm down to only 2 pair
of shorts- and both are for exercise purposes only. The past two weeks
have been fantastically warm and beautiful, and so last weekend I
finally bought a pair of shorts to wear outside the gym. Of course,
that brought an abrupt end to the nice weather, and the forecast now
predicts a week of rain. I'll have the last laugh though, because I
will wear these shorts inside if I have to. However, I'm still hoping
that the rain will be short-lived.
