Valentines ecards. Ever get one of those? They’re OK. I’m not gonna put ’em down. Because even if someone goes to enough trouble to send you one of them, at least you know they were thinkin’ of you. And I guess that’s good, if you’re into that sort of thing. But I WILL say this about them.

Valentines ecards don’t hold a candle to the old-fashioned ones.

And I mean the ones like we used to make way, way back in the 20th century. Yeah, I said “make.” And I don’t mean photoshopped. I’m talkin’ scissors-cutting-construction-paper-glue-glitter-crayons-and-original-personalized-messages MAKE.

Then, we got to exchange cards with classmates. And that was when I got to show that special girl, I was too shy to talk to, the depths of my deep and abiding like for her. And, if I say so myself (and I do because this is my story to my readers, so there), I was quite good on the avenue of amore.

From my earliest boyhood days I liked girls. I never went through one that dufus I-don’t-like-girls phase some ignoramus boys apparently go through. Nuh-uh. They’ve always been A-OK with me.

So, Valentines’s Day, was my day to show ’em I meant business.

Thankfully, I DID pass through that try-to-impress-em phase. Eventually. And I discovered I wasn’t all that eager to go the whole cards, chocolates, and flowers route anymore. Especially since that rose-colored glasses path keeps you in the same mediocre arena with all the other not-so-gladiators.

Just in case this sounds like Valentine’s humbug, that’s because it is.

And that’s why you won’t catch a non-romantic Romeo-no, like me, within 100 yards of some sappy offer like a collection of love songs. No way would I click on a link like this: All For Love downloadable love songs Not even if I was desperate for a last minute, easy-peasy (yet impressive) gift for mi amore.

But hey. Maybe you’re not like me. Maybe you’re still willing to impress that certain someone. If so, it’s your money, honey…or sonny. Spend it as you see fit. $7.77 sounds like a lucky number. And who knows? Maybe it’ll be money well spent. Yeah, it takes all kinds. And crazier things could happen.

Like I said, it’s your money. And at least it’s not just another set of Valentines ecards.
