After last night, it has come to my attention that I am Mr. Opposite – everything I hope for turns out the other way, without fail.

So, presuming my new name to be true, I:

1)      Hope that The Vancouver Canucks win the Stanley Cup,

2)      Wish that the lucky numbers I used for this weekend’s lotteries don’t turn up a single match, let alone all six.

3)      Have my fingers crossed that Mrs. That Dan Guy will cook her signature ratatouille and grits tonight (again…).

4)      Hope that my latest writing project will be ignored, and I won’t even be considered.

5)      Wish that I’ll have thigh chaffing every day this summer.

6)       Will become allergic to chocolate chip cookies and peanut butter sandwiches.

7)      Will not get asked to guest-host The Price Is Right.

8)      Hope that Apple will not send me a new i-Pad 2 to test drive.

9)      Will never find that chocolate-covered almond that rolled under the sofa.

I would have come up with 10, but that would have been too “Letterman”…

Chow for now!!
