...Since I am capable of those, too, to say Happy Valentine's Day to all the lovers out there.

I know, I know-Valentine's Day is a product of American marketing machines and Hallmark Greeting Cards, but I must say it is nice to know that there is a fallback day for those that are maybe not always so good at registering and showing romance and love.

Plus, I am a sappy romantic at heart and love days like this.

My day will be spent working on the floor in the study, grocery shopping, and maybe a film tonight. My beloved Mr. Y gave me a beautiful Cross fountainhead pen (I gave her my heart, and she gave me a pen.)-a great gift for someone like me, that still believes in the value of handwriting and snail-mailing love letters to people I love. I enjoy the fastidiousness that writing a letter entails-thinking about it in your head, writing it out, licking a stamp and then posting it. Then I love to imagine someone's face when they get a letter-does it light up like mine does? I just think that being able to hold something tangible in your hands, evidence of the fact that someone took the time to write you and to love you, can heal even the saddest of hearts just a little.

Now go smooch on those you love-and give them an extra smooch on my behalf, since I don't get to smooch anyone today.

-H.

1 Hi there H, Just thought I would say hello and let you know I popped by. Me and wife-to-be are not doing anything special today. We decided that we didn't need 1 day in the year to let each other know that we love each other - thats what the other 365 of days of this year are for!

5 Happy Valentine's Day to you, too-Kat, Eric, Brad and Del. So, Del, I expect many swooning stories of how you wine and dine your lovely lady during the other 364 days a year!

9 Happy Valentine's Day, luv. I myself will spend the evening curled up in front of a roaring fire with my calculus textbook. I'm not sure how I feel about that.
