I know what you are all thinking, what did I get my wife for V-Day?  Well, NOTHING! I don’t have to.  I am married and have an anniversary.  And it’s pretty close to Valentines day, so it’s like getting a two-fer.  I just need to remember the anniversary, and I am pretty much free for V-day.

 Think about it.  In todays commercial society, is anyone really thinking about what St. Valentine (?) did to get a day named after him?  NO!  It is a great way for unmarried couples to ‘celebrate’ an anniversary, without actually having to ‘remember’ when they met.  Now ladies, I know that you all remember every last time you did everything with your man, but for guys, it doesn’t work that way.  Unless you met him at a Star Trek Convention, or at some concert, he doesn’t remember where you first met.  For guys, Valentines Day gives them a great day to say, “Hey, I love you and I am glad you are in my life, even though I don’t recall all the pertinent information about when we met.  Here have some flowers and chocolate as my way of saying that I am a guy.”

I think that pretty much sums it up.  For those that want to know, I DO remember when AND where I first met my wife.  It was when she was working at the drive-thru as McD’s and she dropped, and spilled a chocolate shake over my head!

(Just Kidding, I love you dear.  Happy Valentines Day)
