I’m probably still in Las Vegas (or trying to get home) hen you read this, but it’s still Valentine’s Day, and I’ll be home in plenty to spend it with Tracey and make her a lovely dinner we can share together. This coming September will be our 25th anniversary, and even though we’ve gone through our share of ups and downs like everyone does, she’s still my valentine and the girl I bought yellow roses for on our first Valentine’s Day together all the way back in 1983. That, my friends, is a long time ago.

Check out this other history of Valentine’s Day, pretty interesting, I think.

Unlike most couples, Tracey and I never had an official “song”. But we did have Gordon Lightfoot’s “Beautiful” played at our wedding, so I guess it comes as close to any song we could call ours as a couple.

Happy Valentine’s Day to my Tracey – my bear – and to all the lovers out there. Make it a nice day for yourselves.
