Bought a new umbrella- black, cheap, but hopefully big enough to actually be worth having in New England rainstorms. It will now reside in my apartment. My other one will live in my car in case of emergency; it's a good umbrella but has kittens all over it and is therefore not as dignified to carry around in a quiver when I'm out walking.
(Yes, I really do that. It give me both hands free when it's not raining consitently- which it almost never does- or when it's not raining but looks like it might while I'm out walking.)
