Fingers crossed

Dear Mother Nature:

I don't ask too much of you, so I hope you don't mind my making one simple plea.

You are free to do whatever you wish during most of today. But please refrain from unleashing the threatening rain that could cause the cancellation of Glen Phillips' performance at Battery Park this evening.

If you force the show's cancellation, I'll be forced to...hmm. What can I do? Ah, I can go out and buy cases of aeresol spray cans. I will stand outside and systematically screw up your ozone layer something fierce.

Work with me here. Don't make me do it.

I thank you for your consideration and subsequent cooperation.

Best,
V
