If Ten Wishes Were Horses

1. I wish to never again read a headline in the vein of "Recession Getting Deeper and No End in Sight."

2. I wish for more of that chocolate cake.

3. I wish that chocolate cake was fat and calorie free but still delicious.

4. I wish for kisses from a variety of sources.

5. I wish for highs over 35 degrees (36 doesn't count).

6. I wish for unlimited reading time.

7. I wish that I hadn't screwed up and missed recording a couple of Battlestar Galactica episodes.

8. I wish devoutly for universally affordable health care.

9. I wish that my recently unemployed friend's interview this afternoon is exactly what he wants and that he is exactly what they want.

10. I wish for more wishes.
