So when did Valentine's Day become a second Christmas? Back in the day ( when you get old you get to say th

As for my best Valentine's Day I guess it would be a toss up between the year I sent a girl a dozen long stem red roses, ( at the time there were two of us trying to win her over, the other guy sent a dozen roses also, but not the long stem kind) the florist that I used, yes florist because back in the day (see above) Price Chopper didn't sell flowers, OK where was I, oh yeah, the florist I used ran out of red roses so they substituted three dozen yellow roses. What I lost in color I made up for in volume. Needless to say neither one of us ended up with the girl.
The other memorable Valentines Day was just last year when I had the pleasure of taking this young woman out to dinner. We went to the Old Dublin Inn for a late dinner, the crowd had thinned a bit but it was still crowed. We got a table down stairs which was fine. It was quiet down there and very romantic. The kitchen door is in that room so we saw the waitstaff coming and going. Mike the bartender came down to pick up an order from the bar and almost fell over when he saw my date. The perfect reaction to a perfect night.

So what am I doing this Valentines Day? At this point the highlight may be shoveling snow or writing amusing blogs for all the rest of you alone on Valentine's Day or watching The Departed on dvd.
As you can tell Valentine's Day is not one of my favorite holidays. I seem to do much better with the women on Christmas or St. Patrick's Day. So let's laugh about February 14th and look forward to March 17th when all the women love Steve.
