VALENTINE'S DAY!! Not Again!!!


VALENTINE'S DAY






I leave Valentine's Day alone. There is something nonsensical about it. If it is special and focused between a man and his woman why insist children participate? The feel of and the spirit of Valentine's day reaches for something vague and romantic that for me is incompatible with the depth of what lives between my wife and I.
 
With women men don't know well enough is an expectation that comes with Valentine's Day, and with sex as an end goal where else can a man go with the sentimentality uncomfortably associated with the day, and what does it mean to wish your mother Happy Valentine's Day?
