Hi, Kate: Do you believe there is support, empirical or otherwise, for the old cliche that "all the good ones are taken"? If not, where are they and why are they not "taken?" Does that mean they're not so good after all, or just can't find each other? Thoughts?

Sarah Palin for John McCain, etc. And now I better go change my suit. For one week give up on the whole propes of finding someone - no really do it - and let me know what happens. Best, Kate
