The Day of Enforced Love and Loneliness
I can really do without Valentine's Day. If married people stopped waiting for a commercially mandated holiday to express their love for one another, there would be fewer divorces. Valentine's Day also manages to make people who aren't in relationships think there's something wrong with them.
It's really rather sad. That said, Peter will show up with a card this evening, so I probably should go out and buy him one, too.
I slipped the requisite chocolate into the offspring's lunches this morning, which they promptly removed to prevent being expected to share with their classmates. The day of love, indeed!
I have to admit, though, my parents loved to celebrate Valentine's Day. They'd hit the stationery store after Mass the Sunday before and pick out the mushiest cards for each other. Last year, when my mother was sick, my father brought her one with a passage in it that nearly knocked me off my feet.
This morning, he had a Mass said for her.

Meet New Men
It's Saturday night. What are you doing at home?
You should be out among the living. Prince Charming is not going to climb through your window to watch the Olympics with you.
Grab a friend and head to your nearest coffee house. Most of them feature live music on weekends. Hang out. If you don't have a friend, go anyway. Order a cup of coffee in a to-go cup and then stick around.
If there's a seat at an empty table, take it. As the place fills up, somebody will probably ask you if they can drag off the other chair. Smile and say, "Sure." If anyone asks what you're doing out alone, just say you popped in for a quick cup of coffee but the music was so captivating you decided to stay. Look approachable.
Sure, it is a bit scary to put yourself in new and uncomfortable situations, but this is how you meet new people.
Meeting new people is the key to meeting "the one."

Pop Culture This Week
Some observations:
The unstoppable Madonna stole the Grammys show.
Two words for Mick Jagger regarding his Super Bowl performance: Long sleeves.
Somebody should tell Katie Couric that encouraging pigeons to eat off her head does not make, as she claimed, "Good TV." It makes "You Are So Desperate to Be Cute I Feel Sorry for You TV".

About that Salmon You're Eating...
Salmon is loaded with heart-healthy Omega-3s, but it may also be teeming with other garbage that could kill you.
This morning's Today Show featured a "flirtologist" who advocates following men around supermarkets. The last man I followed was my Sixth Grade teacher, when my friend Karen and I hid out in the dumpster in front of his house.
Gotta hand it to Dear Abby. She kicked ass today.

Be sure to catch the repeat broadcast of last night's Colbert Report at 2:30/EST this afternoon or at 8:30/EST this evening. Colbert's take on the plight of today's American worker is priceless.
