Well it has started.

The jewelry stores have started their carpet bombing of all the baubles and bangles they need you to buy for Valentine’s Day.  The candy companies have started with their peer pressure tactics….featuring guys who keep telling you that “you HAVE to get her chocolates!”

There is even an ad for a HUGE stuffed bear.  I don’t know any woman who would appreciate getting a stuffed bear for Valentine’s Day.  Flowers, chocolates, a nice dinner, a movie.  All of those ideas are great, but a freaking monstrous stuffed bear?  Yeah.  I don’t think that that is even an decent option.

It has been a long time since I got anyone anything for Valentine’s Day.  A long time.  So, you know, anything that I tell you about this day of romance is rather suspect.  I mean, you wouldn’t necessarily go to a vegetarian to talk about cuts of meat, would you?

I have heard what some of you have said you are going to do.  One reader is going to be doing what I am doing…spending it alone.  No biggie..just another day in the life.  Another reader is going to make a nice dinner for his wife as opposed to going out and waiting in line to eat.  So, what about the rest of you wild folks?  What are your plans for The Day of Romance?

Comments are straight down from here…….
