Yellow

19Mar08

dog raincoatI always want to wear bright yellow on a rainy day. On such days,
I will inevitably try to find the perfect yellow raincoat on line. I like the shiny ones and they are hard to come by. Why is this?

However, as you see to your right, it’s easy enough to find one for my dog (though I would never subject him to that.)

Here’s a great one on ebay -vintage from the 70’s. Here’s a raincoat that’s 30 years old that’s received over 400 hits! So, I’m not alone on this crusade.

A colleague told me I should try a shop on Atlantic Avenue. I think it’s a mens’ shop for workware so doubt they’ll have my size.

Oh well, at least I found that in Park Slope you can BORROW a yellow umbrella at participating businesses when it’s dreary outside. How cool is that??

    This post reminds me of the Steve Goodman song that Chris Brown did on the Steve Goodman tribute CD:

    Yellow Coat (by Steve Gooodman)

    It’s a long time since I saw you last
    So tell me how you’ve been
    Did you ever get to buy that yellow coat?
    Do the flowers in you window box
    Still smile when you walk in?
    Did you read the letters that I wrote?
    And I’ve been on the road since Christmas
    But it don’t seem so long
    Outside of that there isn’t much to say.
    I cut down on my drinkin’ some
    And wrote another song
    I wish you wouldn’t look at me that way
    Remember all the mornings
    We’d walk around the park
    The nights we babysat for Billy’s kids
    And all the times we used to talk
    Of having one ourselves
    I don’t remember why we never did
    Do the neighbors still complain a bit
    When the music gets too loud?
    Does your old cat still sleep up on the bed?
    And do you still walk around
    With your head up in the clouds?
    Have you heard a single thing I’ve said?
    It’s a two day drive to New York
    Guess I’d better go
    Have you noticed the weather’s gettin’ cold?
    And it’s a long time since I saw you last
    Tell me how you’ve been
    Did you ever get to buy that yellow coat?
    Did you ever get to buy that yellow coat?
