The only correct response to the question, "Would you like some tea?" is "Yes. That would be lovely."

All day long, I prayed for rain.  I'd already played 3 games this week with another one to go tomorrow, so a rain break would have been a blessed event.

As usual, not quite to plan.  The rain started about 10 minutes before my 6:00PM kickoff time, and didn't let up the entire time we were on the field.  I was soaked.  Down-to-the-bone soaked.  Pieces-of-hair-sticking-to-my-face-and-blades-of-grass-sticking-to-my-knees soaked. 

Each and every time the ball went out of bounds, it dutifully rolled into the ravine of mud on either side of the field.  Some folks did a better job than others of wiping it clean before a throw-in, but as my luck would have it the guy who tossed it to me for a header didn't wipe it off at all.  Mud in my hair, mud in my eye... thanks, Carey!

By the time I got into my car, my mascara was halfway down my cheeks.  I looked like a young Tammy Faye Baker being stood up by her prom date.

All I wanted was to come home and have a nice cup of tea while listening to the rain , but I decided that tea and rain just didn't feel right without The Pigeon.  I took a hot hot shower instead, which was approximately one one-millionth as satisfying as tea and rain with Richard would have been.
