Susan is the nurse up at the summer camp that she calls her mother because there is a winter session for kids this weekend. I thought I could snag a seat at the bar at a restaurant we like but, alas, even the bar is reserved and it was packed with couples. So I ordered a pizza and a salad for pickup and poured a glass of Costco's house Gigondas (which drinks way above the price point).
And, by the way, I know that this holiday is tied up with romantic love but I'd like to upend that and say it's just a day of love. If today sucks, if it's joyous, or if its something in between...I'm with you. I'm sending brotherly love to each and every one of you.
