Why are the Gods so sad?

Okay. That's it. I've officially had it!! This rain is driving me mad.Simply mad!! Over the last month, I think I've seen the sun three times!!(This might be a slight exaggeration, but seriously, that's what it feelslike). What could possibly be making the Gods so sad that they feel the needto dump ridiculous amounts of rain on us...at least those of us inMassachusetts?

I don't care what it is, but get over it!! Now!! I can't stop thinking about that scene in the movie "Forrest Gump" whenForrest is describing all the different types of rain he experienced whileserving in Vietnam. Here's what I can remember:

* Big old fat rain. (This is the only one I remember for certain, but theothers were described similarly to the following):
* Sweeping rain.
* Pouring rain.
* Drizzling rain.
* Rain that rains upwards. (You know, the kind that splashes back up at youwhen you're strolling through the six-foot deep pond in your backyard).
* Spotty rain.
* Streaky rain.
* Purple rain. (Just kidding on this last one, but I am in dire need of alaugh. But seriously, how cool would that be? To look out the window one dayand actually see purple rain falling from the sky. I can hear Prince's songright now).

Honestly, we've experienced all of this and more over the last month. Iguess we kind of had to see it coming when in April we were experiencingunseasonably warm weather. April showers, as the saying goes, is supposed tobring May flowers. We've got flowers alright, but they're drowning!!

I've said it before, it's only water. But that's not what bothers me. It'sthe mood it puts me in that most irks me. Whoever coined that seasonal mood disorder thing had it right. Gray skys and cold, rainy conditions make mefeel absolutely miserable. I'm totally unmotivated, grouchy, and just aplain old brat when it's like this. So please Gods, I beg of you. Cut us some slack over here will ya? I have aSox game to go to on Friday and if it rains...so help me...you!!
