like a fire

It’s the day before Valentine’s Day and a friend asked me if it was too late to get flowers this morning. I hadn’t really thought about it since it isn’t a part of my paradigm to give flowers for V-day. What would I want for a gift? Hmmm… Make magazine has some great ideas.

How about a laser etched Moleskin. Though I would probably want something a little better than I fly etched onto it. Not very romantic.

Or maybe some personalized candy. These seem to be for the anti-social scientist type. I can probably think of some… ahem… tasty things to put on there.

Cathy and I both got a laugh out of the Darwin Valentine. Nothing says “I love you” like an old guy who thinks love just happens.

For me, I will be content with a night of food, wine and conversation with my wife. That’s our normal and most fulfilling tradition for Valentine’s Day. It’s not as earth-shaking as some people’s celebration, but it’s what we love.
