Valentine's day has only gained momentum in the last few years, when retailers decided they could make a buck out of it. Now, I see fourteen year olds walking round with smug expressions and large bunches of roses that must have cost (some other fourteen year old) a hundred dollars, and lots of adverts in the paper for frilly underwear and 'special deals' at flash hotels.
Must be middle age, but I'm not playing.

We found a card each, met in the middle, then looked at the price of each card. Around $US5 EACH, in 1981! No way! They went back on the stand immediately, never to darken our door again.

Truly amazing!!!
Valentine's cards are no more or less expensive than any other cards, and most that I see are still well below $5.

My dear wife had rotator cuff surgery yesterday, and is on pain meds, so the drinking will be pretty scant this season. But I'll raise a glass on her behalf nonetheless, probably a Gamay of some sort.
