MY conventional wisdom

Yesterday was a foul day. No! Actually it was a miserable day. Thick grey clouds hung over the city like the belly of a fat man. It was probably one of the darkest days of the year. It just made me want to go home and close all the windows and doors and sit on my couch. No one else seemed to mind it though.. I saw people in shorts and t-shirts. Some even had hats and sunglasses on. They were all acting so strangely, seemingly unaffected by the foul day. A friend of mine phoned me and asked if I'd join him at the beach. "You're mad!" I replied.
