Even when I was young I did not understand the hysteria exhibited by some women if they did not have a date for Valentine’s Day. I guess when you generally didn’t have a date on any given day, one more dateless day just really didn’t stand out all that much.
And please, no pity needed. I buy my own treats and flowers and am surrounded by love, even if it comes from critters without the ability to take me to dinner. My life is very complete.
