A Valentine’s Day Post
February 14, 2008I've spent the better part of 3 hours trying to figure out what to write on this blog for today and I've just about worn out my backspace key. At first I was trying to write about a bunch of useless Valentine's day trivia, like how the catholic church meant it to replace the Roamn feast of Lupercalia, a pagan love ritual or that for some odd reason, at least 3% of pet owners will give valentine's day gifts to their pets. (Please don't ask how many of them actually "get lucky". I don't want to know.) But then I got bored with the idea. I tried to write about the many pitfalls men have to contend with during this day but it's been done several times and much better than I could ever hope to. I tried writing about alternative Valentine's day gifts and possible activities for couples but that fell flat too. I suppose it's because it's really not what I want to say.
What follows after the jump is a short letter to my wife. If you are averse to stuff usually written in mushy love letters, I suggest you leave now. If you're disillusioned about love and relationships then please go elsewhere. Because frankly, you won't like it. For everyone else, feel free to read on. I will forgive anyone who barfs later on.
