You’re out of time

CupidIt’s Valentine’s Day.

If you’re a husband or boyfriend, you better have geared up with flowers or a dinner reservation.

At the very least.

It’s changed over the years.

It used to be both the lady and the guy swapped a mushy card and that was it.

I remember when I was a little kid and the teacher used to have everybody make “secret admirer” cards.

The cute guys got them all and us ugly kids got left out.

One teacher who did that, I found out much later, had been married 3 times.

No wonder.

Anyway, it then somehow became a major booster to the economy and you better be spending a lot of money on your honey or her feeling’s will be hurt and some TV reporter will interview lots of store owners complaining.

Trust me – you don’t want that.

I have a long list of wonderful and goofy gift ideas.

They won’t work.

Food, diamonds, flowers, food and candy is about it.

Women can be very traditional about this stuff.

Don’t even think of giving her a new pan unless you want to be wearing in on your head.

If the wife is reading this, which she rarely does, something electric, expensive and heavy is fine for me.

Heart PajamasIf you guys need something different for the little woman – try this.

I would suggest adding a quart of something 100 proof at the same time.

Consider it an investment in peace and happiness.

Happy Valentines Day.

Now go get a card.
At least.
