March Exercise —day ten—<\/span> Another day of rain, but my mind is drifting back almost a year to when we replaced our roof here at the Town House, or, I should say, after<\/em> we replaced it. I arose from a fretful sleep and could see out the bathroom window that it was raining. A familiar distress clutched at my gut, and I prepared myself to climb up into the attic to check on my array of buckets and plastic sheets. And then, for the first time in years, I reacted to the knowledge that it was just a bit of welcome rain, that there were no more roof leaks to magnify the stress that had accompanied any amount of precipitation.
