LITTLE THINGS SEEM TO MATTER AN AWFUL LOT TO THEM

Valentines Day, Ugh! What to do, where to go, what to buy. Little things seem to matter an awful lot to them, I mean women, and actually, I mean my wife of forty two years. It is not that I do not care, I do but the creative planning needed to create a “special” occasion seems somewhat beyond my capability this year. Colds, sore throat, coughs, surgery, worries about family and even my adjustment to so called “retirement” consumes most of what I have to offer. Yet, I will try; give it my best, little as that may be right now. Love, with all its meanings is not easily packaged into a day called “Valentines.”
