My horoscope today: "Patience and diligence are your middle names. You have paid your dues, and today you reap the rewards. Trust those bright new ideas that are bubbling up inside of you and let yourself be heard. Instead of fearing the worst, hope for the best. People are amazed at the depth and breadth of your recall. Your memory, your attention to detail and your sensitivity all serve you well today."

I sure as heck wish I knew what all those bright new ideas were, and where they're bubbling up, because I'm trying to come up with ideas for an article to write for my Joy of Fear newsletter, and I can't think of a single thing!

Testing out the online dating scene for a bit. I've been trying out a few services, none of which have really knocked my socks off. Right now, I'm trying out AmericanSingles.com. What I don't understand is why I get responses from guys all over the planet except my area. It boggles my mind.

I could go into a lengthy diatribe about people who obviously don't read profiles, but I'll spare you all. All I'm looking for is a guy who's reasonably attractive, has a few working brain cells, a j-o-b, and can write a grammatically correct sentence. Is that too much to ask?
