Reporter: "How are you progressing on this murder case?" (or something like that)

Nick: "Well, it's putting me way behind on my drinking."

THE
LOVE THAT MOVIE
AARDVARK

We made tacos together, than watched the 'The Thin Man' [1934]

It's a pretty great movie.

(The next morning, I used the leftover taco ingredients to make an omelette.)

I bought my wife some flowers and a lemon pie. She bought me a heart-shaped box full of Reese's cups and some spicy beef jerky. We're leaving in about an hour to go to a antique/thrift event in Tulsa with another couple. We're staying in a hotel attached to a casino, doing some random stuff around town, and coming home tomorrow.

I hear all those commercials about how the best way to say "I appreciate you" to your significant other is with jewelry or a new car. Phhhhttthhh. I'm spending the weekend with my best friend while eating chocolate and beef jerky. There are worse ways to celebrate.

My wife left me some Andy's chocolates on the table before work.

(crickets chirp)

That's about it.

THE
NON CELEBRATORY
AARDVARK

I can imagine there were plenty of last minute reservations, flowers and chocolate everythings being procured. All fair market value just to catch a glimpse of shaved hearts, lightning bolts, full-on Cupids and all manner of south-mouth topiary.

My Valentine's Day was spent toiling at the brewery until I came home to collapse on the couch and pick back up somewhere in season five (S05) of TNG. I poured myself a bottle of Bell's Amber Ale, which I then drank, all the while waiting for the very unadoptable foster dog to come bark at me so she can send one flying onto the neighbor's lawn four houses down.

Did any of you actually celebrate this, and if so, how?
