I made a little Google-esque Valentine's graphic, but since The Boy must be turning over a new leaf and sleeping early, I can't upload the thing because I can't remember the password to his server. In any case...

Happy St. Valentine's Day!

It's 2:30 AM, and I've already slept 6 hours today -- most of Valentine's Day was spent packing, finding walking tours of NYC, and feeling guilty about not being on hand to mock the Hallmark Holiday with Daniel. That's tru wuv Daphne-style for you: remorse over a lost opportunity to have fun at the expense of others. Valentine's Day IS supposed to be about sharing something with those you care about, right?

Hugs, Dan! And lest you think this means I'm a convert to the Valentine's Day holiday, you're absolutely right, but not for the obvious reasons. Take a look at this Globe article on Valentine's Day assaults in India. and even if you're in favour of more conservative social mores you must admit it's an interesting example of how far Western cultural influence has spread.

It's too early in the morning for more critical analysis, and I think my noggin is telling me to go back to bed. Can't wait to get to Denver.
