Feel kinda cheap because I had just come back from CVS picking up a card and
a stupid red Teddy Bear holding a lollipop or something for her.

I talked mine out of some ring she was hinting at, but it wasn't worth
it, as she got in a little snit about it.
I quickly gave in, but I think she likes the snit more than the ring.
She refuses to tell me which ring it was.
So I picked up a pound of Fannie Mae chocolate orange peels for her,
the only candy she really likes.
22 bucks a pound. Still cheaper than the ring by far.
We'll see if it mollifies her.
She'll bring up the ring again soon enough. Too many damn "holidays"
the merchants have hyped up.
Geez, I thought Valentines Day was for kids in school learning to
write names and young guys adding to their chance of getting some
nookie.

Now, to plan the special occasion to try the beer. You drink it as if it is
cognac, according to the directions. I don't want to open it until there
are enough people here to enjoy it.

I like any ritual that involves good beer.
Well, so far anyway.
Cheers! for when you quaff it.
