Happy St. Valentines Day!

Here's hoping all of you and your loved ones have a great St. Valentines Day. Did you notice I said "St."?? At one point in time everyone referred to it that way... Folks went skipping around (okay, maybe not skipping) saying "Happy St. Valentines Day!" to their sweeties, teachers, grandparents etc. Even my little grade school Snoopy perforated edge valentine said "Happy St. Valentine's" back in the day. Now, I guess our time is too compressed and busy these days too eek out the 'St.' part. Next thing you know we'll be having Patrick's Day parades (sans the St.) and so forth. Although maybe not, since the Irish heavily guard and honor their beloved Saint.. some by drinking themselves silly with green beer on his feast day. (nuthin' wrong with that-- green beer, I mean. Drinking themselves silly-- another story) So my friends, to right the world a bit today, I'll be slowing down a little to wish everyone a proper "Happy St. Valentines Day". Consider yourselves the first!
