Will you be ours, Valentine?

I caught a few minutes of "Family Feud" recently. A contestant was asked, "which holiday is the worst to be alone?"

Survey says: the number one answer is "Valentines Day".

Did they ask males?


Today is not Black Monday. It's Saint Valentine's Day. A feast for lovers and friends, we still can recall. I am not, you are not, neither he, she nor it, is alone today. We've got each other.

Will you be ours, valentine?

Gentlemen, Valentines Day is Sunday

Gent's hopefully by now, you have learned that fair died in the war. Get over it.

Sunday is Valentines Day. Another Christian bastardization of an ancient Roman tradition, you're thinking. Doesn't change the fact between now and Sunday you had better come up with your best expression of your love for your better half that ever was.

Regardless of what you may have thought you heard, you absolutely must come up with something. It need not be purchased, need not be expensive, need be meaningful.

Should you need ideas, put down the sports pages, and search the better bloggers.
