Actually I’ve been up for quite awhile and made a delicious, if not random, lunch of salmon piccata. Seriously, how am I single? Speaking of piccata – the chicken piccata at Amalfi is a special recommendation from Meck to you. That more people don’t know about that place completely baffles me.

And speaking of single: to trump my last post about the topic, yahoo now informs me that only 34% of women are single nationwide, while 32% of men are. It doesn’t seem all that bad. It also talks about how cities with large universities tend to have more singles. Except, of course, Charlotte.

Last but not least – I’ve found my favorite ever analysis of the veep debate. Check it out here.

Since I now find myself among this group, the information was both comforting and incredibly depressing. Two things stuck out:

92 million: Number of unmarried Americans 18 and older in 2006. This group
comprised 42 percent of all U.S. residents 18 and older.

86: Number of unmarried men 18 and older for every 100 unmarried women in the
United States.

Lots of women are single. I’m not sure if that makes me feel better or not.
