NO, I won't do it. I won't write 25 Things. No disrespect intended to all the fine writers of 25 Things out there, about whom I now feel I know more about than at least ... ummm, several ... of my ex girlfriends. But I won'twon'twon't.

And if I won't write 25, I certainly won't write 99. So you could say my headline is just a lie and an attention-getting device and you might well be half right or even more.

But I'm posting this for everyone who is lazy, or secretive or maybe just a little overwhelmed at the idea of having to come up with 25 Things.

I'm going to post just ONE Thing, and then see if there are 98 people who want to comment and pad this out. I'm closing comments when we get to 99 Things, I swear I'll do it.

Here's mine:

1. Every once a while I'll do a search on the Internet for girls I had crushes on in grade school and I've never found even one of them. Carolyn S., Ruth O., Amy N., Melanie W. -- I loved you all. There. That's all I wanted to say.

Next?
