OK, update on the haikus. There are three judges and I have only received responses from 1 (Thanks). One judge is traveling and the other was traveling and now has returned and probably conveniently forgotten that [put the name of this person here] is a judge. (Notice how I don’t use a pronoun to describe the judge. I am soooo sneaky.)
So, no results for the haikus yet. So, please, stop asking.

The best city for singles is Denver, Colorado. I think this is because it’s full of hippies.
And I have to disagree about Boston. I mean, come on, Boston??? If you like 18 year olds… Wait, I change my mind – Boston is good.

So on Friday I am getting LASIK surgery. I am very excited about this because I am sick and tired of my glasses. Yes, this is an elective surgery and yes, I probably don’t need to get it done, but I want it. I have been thinking about it for some time. I especially think about it when I am in the swimming pool, wearing an old pair of glasses that I don’t mind getting mucked up. Yes, I am that blind. However, when I am at the pool, I am usually swimming around with a bunch of 70 year olds in my aqua aerobics class; so wearing glasses in the pool is no biggie considering they are wearing extremely worn out bathing suits and have liver spots the size of Dakota.
I also have thought about LASIK when on rollercoasters; when falling asleep with my glasses on and turning over and bending them out of shape; when I stepped on a pair once; when I broke a lens out of my current pair after I dropped it on the floor; when I have to switch between my prescription glasses to my prescription sunglasses; when I went waterskiing (once and it was disastrous); and most of all, when I am in the shower and have to either lift my leg up to my face or bend down and squish my eyeball to my leg when shaving my legs.
Of course, once I get rid of my glasses, I will have to deal with lots of non-eyeglass wearing issues, such as: all sorts of flying debris landing in my eyes, splattering oil from a frying pan, and wearing protective eye gear while sawing things in half, you know, the everyday issues for a non-eyeglass wearing person.
Owell.

So itchy!!!!!!!! (7-20-05)
My apologies for the lack of horoscopes last week. The week escaped me.
+=======================+
So the weekend of July 4th, I was in Vermont at Jen Brown’s family place and a bunch of us decided to do the John Langhans Independence Run, organized by the Woodstock Community Center, in the neighboring town of Woodstock, VT. I don’t run, but I planned to walk the 7.2 mi. The race started at 8 AM and I quickly noticed that there were no other walkers. Just me. So I went on my merry way. The race is goes around Woodstock over these giant hills and through the town. Well, I was going at a pretty good pace until I noticed there was no mile 3 marker. I thought, that is strange. And there were no more water stations. I thought, hmm, that’s screwed up. AND THEN I noticed that flat bed trucks carrying the water station people and the water were driving past me. Yes, they decided that since the majority of people had finished the race, they would close shop. They did stop by and check on me twice to see that I had enough water. But basically I was left alone, wandering the hills of Woodstock, VT. It was ok – beautiful scenery, long stretches of road. The only scary part was this hill – very steep and isolated. I was thanking the gods that I was wearing a bright orange t-shirt – I didn’t want to be hunted down. Well, I finished the “race” and was congratulated by my friends. However, the race officials were all gone, the medals were already handed out. So thanks for nothing, Woodstock Community Center!

But other than that, a mighty fine weekend.
