then let the rain come down

Today finds me sort of trapped at home/studio, working on and having completed my second book (minus the epilogue, which comes tomorrow).  Quite an interesting weekend so far, although plans to drink with friends has been (possibly) diverted.  In the meantime, I am having end of summer/end of the world Campari spritzes, for whom I have J to thank for helping me get the Campari.

Also, today is the birthday of my friend S and also of my sister M, and let us not forget the death date of the great Le Corbusier.

As for this hurricane, which may or may not be the end of the world,

"First Murderer: Prepare yourselves.
Banquo: It will rain tonight.
First Murderer: Then let the rain come down"
-Shakespeare, Macbeth

the end will come and surely it must but as to when?
