Valentine's day

Ok, so yesterday was Valentin'e day and I didn't even get a nod. I mean I am only Sarnia's (newest) most eligible bachelor, c'mon!

But seriously, In the past 5 years I haven't been near anyone on Valentine's Day, and to tell you the truth I've been sort of lucky that way. Never worrying about forgetting it, or not getting the right gift. I get to listen to the Hens cackle about how their man better make good or else!

I am of the opinion that this Halmark holiday is for women only. What man expects more than a quick roll in the proverbial hay, (if he still likes her). Now ask the same question of a woman, boy howdy you'd best make with the Lindor and long stems!

Not that these are bad things, it gives a man a chance once a year to prove to his wife (or significant other) that that little flame is still burning for only her; and though 364 days a year pretty much fly past them with litle more than an occasional nuzzle or: "I love you", this day could be important to sustaining a deep and emotional connection with your life partner, or keep the loud screaming noise to a minimum for those of you who forget.

I marked Valentine's day of 2006 with a Steak and a visit to my special girl Ellie Mae to deliver her a little something special. She got me a Dora the Explorer card which was cute, and a slice of cake that she decorated at daycare.

This Valentine was spent quite the opposite of romance with a visit to a Family Lawyer and a Steak dinner for one. But y'know? It was nice all the same, next year I'm going to Cuba!
