Love is in the air- NOT

I'm sure everybody knows tomorrow is Valentines Day, if you don't, consider this a gift. I just saved your bacon. But seriously, the ads pimping everything from teddy bears to roses are everywhere. So, the other night I'm going through my nightly ritual of going to bed at midnight then waking up at 3:45 and not being able to sleep. So I go sit in the recliner and channel surf, maybe fall back asleep, maybe not. There are a lot of strange commercials on late night tv. This particular spot I refer to was sponsored by love@aol.com. The gist of ad was this- if you can't find love, maybe it's not you. Maybe it's the city you live in. Here are the top 10 cities to live in, in order, for the ultimate in hook-up-ability......
1- Atlanta
2- LA
3- Houston
4- Detroit
5- Dallas
6- Orlando
7- Philly
8- San Francisco
9- Denver
10- Boston

Now the thing that really caught my eye- it also listed the worst cities to find a mate. You are all aware of where my 2 oldest daughters reside, right? Well, here are the worst-
1- Washington, DC
2- Minneapolis/St. Paul

I guess that answers that question and a few more I had.

They forgot about Austin rated No. 1 for singles!! But I am not single so maybe this isn't a good thing :)

Hey, I live in the cities too! Thanks for that depressing reality, Uncle Greg. At least now I have an excuse...
