Valentine's Day... just for kids?

Just had a friend today tell me that Valentine's Day is really just for kids. I guess she was just trying to make me feel better? I mean... maybe that is what happens. It's the Valentine's Digression. When you're dating, it's overkill, then you get married and it maybe becomes less enthusiastic. Then you have kids and... well, it just goes downhill. I personally have always loved Valentine's Day, but that's because I wish for romance. It's rare around here.

Anyway, the interesting thing about Valentine's Day is that it's not a made up American greeting card holiday, it actually has historical roots. They may be a bit sorted, but there's no doubt that this holiday has some significance, and the love/marriage connection seems important.

Anyway, Happy Valentine's Day! You still have time to do something special for your Valentine.=)

Go!

It's all I can think about right now... someday, I'm going here. I might have to go alone. Can you guess where this is?


It's on my dream list....

...made it to this list...

Oh, hello blog...

I'm not promising anything, and I can see that I have a LOT of things to restore to this blog (namely by blogroll - where DID you go?). Since I'm taking this semester off, I've been pondering a few posts here and there. It may happen.... we'll see. Lately, not a lot and everything is happening! I guess I need to call on my blog master (Tony) to help me resurrect this old thing.=/
