I met Lady Valentine on the Highline yesterday.   A little wiki told me that we honor Saint Valentine for marrying people who weren't legally allowed to marry- Christians.   I smell irony.

Another little wiki told me Valentines Day hijacked the day of Lupercalia, a Roman festival honoring the she wolf who suckled Romulus and Remus, where women present themselves to be smacked with the skin of a sacrificed goat to ensure fertility and reduce labor pains.

And then there are the antivalentinists who might observe Single Awareness Day (SAD), or get a card with a picture of Neptune suggesting we "sea other people."

We all like chocolate, so lets just leave it at that.  Thank you Valentine Lady.
