I gave her the tickets to tonight's game over five weeks ago.

I remember thinking "I hope it doesn't rain"

I've been watching the weather since last week, since last week every report has called for rain.

Monday she was telling me of all the problems in her life and she added to the list that I probably gave her the tickets because I knew it was going to rain.

Today it was raining, off and on.

Outside, I watched the skies.

I think I even said a prayer.

I was still watching as I went to the second job thirty minutes before the scheduled start of the game, then I forgot and then just now I remembered. It's the top of the six, Red Sox 4 Tampa Bay 5
