Gentlemen, consider this a friendly reminder.
I know we've all been bush, what with shoveling out the driveway and sidewalk every other day.
However, do not - I REPEAT, DO NOT - forget what day this is.
That's right, stop right now and glance at the calendar.
It's Feb. 14.
No, it doesn't mean we're halfway through February and one day closer to spring.
It's VALENTINE'S DAY.
Don't forget it.
Get a card - and a gift. Flowers are nice. Jewelry is better.
And a word of advice from someone who has been celebrating Valentine's Day with the same woman for the last three decades.
I would guess that for maybe the last 25 of those, we have both "agreed" not to buy each other gifts.
Don't fall for it. Don't believe it for a second.
And whatever you do, don't walk through that door tonight without a little something to note your feelings.
She was lying to you when she said she really doesn't want anything this year.
The same way she was lying to you when she said that last year.
Do not fall for it.
Or prepare for the kind of cold that makes all this snow and ice look positively tropical.
It's Valentine's Day. Have a heart. Show her you care.
And no, a box of Conversation Hearts does not count. Maybe if it's attached to a great card or a bouquet of flowers.
I'm not in cahoots with the card industry, nor the florist.
You'll have to trust me on this one.
Cross my heart.
