another post? I must be

on holiday. Speaking of holidays, Valentines is coming up ... despite the implied tone of the previous post, I am not really a big fan of Valentines. Just recently in the big city I ran into Sam who married Melissa. This was a good idea. Proposing on Valentine's day was not. Now because the day is so meaningful ... yes italics can also mean slightly sarcastic intonation he was having a full on panic about what to get her.

For Sam, and others in the same boat I suggest Meg's anti-Valentines day cards. Hell you can even send me one.

The only real fun I have had on Valentines I have really had was back in 1990. Pathetic sad-do you say? That was my only American Valentine's day. I went to the pet store with K. First off, it was a 24hr pet store! Secondly, there was a special 'tarantulas for the one you love.' (I'm not afraid of spiders, they just annoy me with their goddam webs, and how their shit sticks to the ceiling ... would it be less annoying if it fell on my head? But, hell, don't send me that!). Thirdly there was the fun and shennanigans of hiding the card in the fridge, in the toaster ... yes re-used for more Valentines fun. Oh jolly japes .... Indeed I am a pathetic saddo!

Ah my Leap of Frog, but I am also remembering a fine Valentine's card received from you another year. My only one to date that mentioned cat's bottoms.

I am sorry that this blog does not allow anonymous comments. Because anonymous comments are very very Valentines.

leap of faith!
I am a bad man. I never email. I think of you often, and always on St V's day
