Moving on to today's plans ...... I have tickets to see the Phillies play the Mets this afternoon. Sounds great, eh? It would be, and I'd already be decked out in my Phillies gear walking down to the stadium to wander around for a few hours before the game, BUT ...
... it's 56degrees and rainy outside.
Boo hiss. What is it with me this weekend? I can't catch a break.
At this point, I'm crossing my fingers for an all out downpour so they cancel the game before I even think about whether I should bother going to the ballpark. Even if it doesn't downpour, it's going to be rainy and cold all day.
The big question is: Will it rain hard enough for them to cancel the game?
The forecast says increasing rain throughout the afternoon, but I really need for it to begin by noon and be really heavy. With thunder, lightning, and hail. Worst case scenario is that it continues to drizzle, just enough to play the required innings and torture any fans devout enough to brave the weather. I don't think I'm that brave. I don't like sitting in cold rain.
If my luck over the past few days is any indication of what will happen, it'll keep drizzling on and off and the game will go on, as scheduled. There'll be no replacement ticket, and my choice will be: a) suck it up and watch the game in the rain; or b) stay home and forget about the tickets.
Here is my game plan:
- I am now going outside to my backyard to do my best version of an Indian Rain Dance.
- Next, I'll sit down at my piano and sing a round of "I hope raindrops don't start falling on my head."
- And if all else fails, I'll opt for Plan B.

As luck would have it, the game was canceled, which is good for you, right? I don't think they've announced a make-up date yet, though.
