I took my wife out to cheap date. We went lap swimming. Then I got two burgers at a fast food restaurant and paid for with a coupon.

You’re right about Valentine’s Day - it’s a form of extortion at best these days. Both men and women get suckered into Valentine’s Day. You could go one more step and throw in all the other Hallmark created holidays i.e. Mother’s Day and Father’s Day too. We just went out to dinner the day before Valentine’s Day - no flowers, no chocolates. No surprise that the sale of flowers in the US has plummeted. But truth be told, women (some of us) do love to receive flowers!! Any day of the year.

I like the idea of setting a time, a special time, for love. It warms my heart, soothes my brain and tickles my senses.

I saw some men smiling, hopping (one even skipped into the store).

Don’t let Hallmark, American Greetings dictate how you live. On the other hand, a good thing is a good thing.

I completely agree with you, Mary. No we don\’t need a holiday to tell people how special they are to us or how much we love them. But I do think it\’s nice to be reminded or to have a special day to honor people who are important to us. Having three children ages 4 and under and a hubby who is gone most of the week working, we absolutely love special dates like anniversaries, Valentine\’s Day, etc. By the way, Eric was one of those \

By the way, Eric was one of those “sorry saps” on Valentine’s Day. He sent me a dozen roses and the card read, “Look in the first drawer of the buffet.” Inside the drawer I found a certificate for a spa day!! I’m so happy my husband is a “sorry sap.”

(Keener, FYI part of my reply got cut of the first time.)

LOL Liz. Since you are both from Chicago, I’m sure you can take that dig.

No hard feelings Liz…I’m glad you enjoyed the day and don’t spite others for it. I just like to pull your chain and get ya riled up.

Long live sorry saps! And I hear they do!

Keener, don’t make me pull out the big guns…I know there is a sorry sap somewhere inside of you. Framed dolphin picture? Did I sound riled up? Okay, fine if you don’t do V Day, but going for a burger and movie with a buddy instead of spending time with your beautiful newish love?! I know, MYOB! Peace out.

You have that right, Liz, sweetie!

Do you think that the trip to the Sahara was Brad Pitt’s character’s Valentine’s Day gift to his wife in Babel? That would have been the icing on the cake. Great film.
