WITHOUT TRYING TO SOUND LIKE A JANE AUSTEN NOVEL TITLE, AD PRESENTS "AN IDEAL WOMAN".


For those who know me well (and if you read this page, you probably know me quite well), you are aware I suffer from a horrible condition called EIC. This stands for Extended Involuntary Celebacy. In layman's terms, it means I'm not having much luck as a... uh, layman, if you catch my drift.

I'm not whining here. This is at least partly my fault, and largely attributable to my utter lack of endearing qualities. Still, with my habitual singlehood in mind (and it is often in my mind), I often daydream over what the ideal woman for Johnnie D would be. And, in the "no particular order" order, I've defined her as all or most of the following things:


-At least 5'9"
-One hell of a cook
-Probably a redhead, although this is negotiable
-An athlete (full Oedipal disclosure - my mother was on the national K-4 team in 1970.)
-A political junkie...
-...but no other kind of junkie
-Irish Catholic
-A Police fan (obligatory citation - this idea is lifted from Dan Hicks' All Fella bio, where he states his ideal woman must be a Clash fan.)
-Preferably a wearer of second-hand or vintage clothing from time to time
-Agnostic
-Able to best me 2 times out of 3 in a debate on fiscal policy.
-Finally, someone who, for an unknown reason, is unaware of the innumerable guys out there better than me.

There you have it. If you meet 75% of these critera, (and definitely if you meet the last one), please send a message to the editor. I'll be willing to waive these requirements for one particular person (and one of my regular readers knows exactly who I'm talking about.)
