  935 Days ...until I “turn” gay. I am to have this epiphany when I am 29. This impending turn of events was revealed to me by an openly gay coworker approximately four years ago.
Evidently her gaydar was set to ‘ESP’ that day. I shared her revelation with a handful of my coworkers back then, creating an endless source of workplace amusement and teasing (at my expense) among us. If I recall correctly, the conversation went something like, “Oh my God! You guys are NOT going to believe what ‘so-and-so’ told me!” To this day I have not been able to work a solid week without having someone comment on “The Countdown.” As I walked into the office this morning, one of the guys gave me a thumbs-up, wink, and a “29, baby!” and the thought occurred to me that I should include my blogger-friends in the hilarity of “The Countdown.” So there you have it. March 7, 2006 – mark your calendars folks. Ladies, please be patient. Gentlemen, the clock is ticking.
