\"ValentineSo, here we are.
\nValentine’s Day eve.<\/p>\n

One of many various stories says Saint Valentine of Rome was thrown in prison for performing weddings for soldiers who were not allowed to marry.<\/p>\n

In a letter to someone, he signed it “Your Valentine.”
\nSupposedly that’s how it started according to some history books.<\/p>\n

If you want the real story – look at this<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Valentines-Day-png\"It used to be you gave a Valentine’s card to someone you loved.<\/p>\n

Then the commercialization of America kicked in and they now expect a new BMW.<\/p>\n

Anyway this is about me, not everyone else.<\/p>\n

So I tell the bride we’ll go out to dinner tomorrow night.
\nGiven that every other husband in the world is doing the same thing, it may end up at a hot dog stand versus some fancy joint.<\/p>\n

It’s the thought that counts and the least I can do for the apple of my eye who does not believe in Valentine’s for husbands.<\/p>\n

What you say?<\/p>\n

Yup.
\n“Valentine’s Day is for children”, says she.<\/p>\n

No, Christmas is for children.
\nValentine’s Day is for sweethearts.<\/p>\n

Her girlfriends need to have a serious talk with her.
\nNo way she’ll listen to me.<\/p>\n

See where this is going?<\/p>\n

You have to understand the husband’s station in life when it comes to the mistress of the house.<\/p>\n

Grandchildren first.
\nKids second.
\nGirlfriends third.
\nDoggies fourth.
\nHusband somewhere about 33rd.<\/p>\n

Someone send me a card so I won’t be grumpy.
\nWrite something mushy on it even if it’s not true.<\/p>\n
