Next to Christmas, Valentine’s Day is the one holiday that seems to be fraught with expectations and disappointment. Flowers are bought and chocolates are given, but sometimes that’s not enough. I drove past a floral shop on the way home and there was a security guard milling about in the parking lot. I guess fights could break out over that last dozen roses. And then you have all the single people gnashing their teeth and donning T-shirts with slogans like “I think, therefore I’m single.” I know I’m getting at least one Valentine’s Day card. From my mom. So to all the happy couples, frustrated singles, and thoughtful moms, Happy Valentine’s Day.
The first season of The Greatest American Hero was just released on DVD. Man, I loved that show when I was a kid. I used to sing the theme song to myself during the bus ride to school. Since then, I’ve gotten much better at concealing my inner dork.
Happy belated V-day. I dig your blog. I came across it on /. I used to sing that damn catchy song on the way to school too, usually right before I got my mittens flushed down the toilet by some older kid.
