On January 4th I asked you if I should start dating again. I stated that if fifty of you voted for it within three days, I would sign up for an online dating site and start checking out the prospects. My polling effort was somewhat lame, but that's okay because it was also somewhat rigged. I have, on a few occasions, gotten more than ten comments to a given post. My average is lower, and the post that received the most comments has only gotten sixteen (though they continue to dribble in, so that number could increase.) I set you up, dear friends, knowing that it was extremely unlikely that I would get fifty pro votes, along with some nays and some undecideds.

Mahalo, my friends, for not putting me through that ordeal. You showed yourself to be remarkably disinterested in my love life. Please don't be embarrassed or feel that you need to explain yourselves. That pretty much describes my own level of enthusiasm. I would have kept my word if you had rallied to the cause, but am greatly appreciative that you chose to let me off the hook. It was a workable tie-in for the sponsor I was writing about, but I'm pleased it will not inturde futher into my life.

You may return now to your regularly scheduled programming. ;0)
