Happy is the family 
Whose members, being bound, 
Are also free;  

For in utter dependence 
One can never reach his best, 
And to be too free 
Is to be lonely and unhappy

But to be one's best self 
In a life shared with others 
Is like a lone musical note 
Finding its home in a symphony.

Questions

I have many.
But I'm not completely sure what they all are.
Or how I would even go about asking them.

Umbrellas...

U
mbrella:
...a small, transportable roof over your head.
What a silly idea.
Even sillier when, all of the sudden, everyone has one. Just because of a decreased barometric pressure.
What must the aliens think.
Why does it look normal on a cloudy day and absolutely ridiculous all the rest of the time?
I think it looks ridiculous even on rainy days.
I boycott umbrellas.
Except... I must admit that they do a much better job than my wonderful raincoat if the downpour is truly torrential. That's my only exception.
But today wasn't torrential. The clouds were only spitting.
Otherwise, I'd be eating my words and singing their praises.
As I go in completely soaked to Orchestra.
But regardless, I still don't use them.

It's a rainy day! Buy a raincoat!
