Finding Love

So, once again it's Valentine's Day, and all the (western) world of humans rejoices in the urge to mate. Well, I suppose you rejoice if you are involved with someone you like, or you think there's a good likelihood you may be involved with someone you like, shortly. If your prospects are not good, or you find you are involved with someone you don't particularly like, then this song is for you:

If you happen to be lucky (like me) and have a fine person to come home to (on most nights - let's be realistic), then Valentine's Day is the day to ignore the capitalist forces at work, and purchase chocolate and flowers for your loved one. And why not? Commercialization or not, can you think of a better reason to celebrate?
