I hope you had a pleasant VD.

I did that because I like that tune. When I was in high school, I knew David Colvig, who played flute in the Houston Symphony; he also doubled on piccolo, and joked that he was also the symphony’s barker… no, not to gather them an audience in case they ever played at a carnival, but to sound the dog-barks every time they played Whistler and his Dog. Between the dog-barks and the piccolo solo in the Stars and Stripes Forever, he was a well-known fellow, and seemed to enjoy his job a lot. I did a web search a while back; it looks as if Colvig died at the ripe old age of 86… but I could not tell which year it happened.

Mind you… the two VD’s probably have much in common on this day! I’m sure some of those people indulging in a little ‘nudge, nudge, wink, wink’ today will eventually discover upon a visit to their doctor some time later that the other VD. 😉

I’m such a romantic. LMAO

Hmmm… You need a whistling smiley. 😉

No VD fans here, unless you think twice as much litter box cleaning is romantic.

Stella will receive a Dove bar, three really silly cards, and two books on bookbinding, one of the many crafts she indulges in for pleasure. She picked them out herself on a book run months ago, saying, “Oh, give them to me on Valentine’s Day; I’ll have forgotten about them by then.” I’m pretty sure she has. She’s a hard-headed practical woman with just enough of a romantic streak that I don’t dare forget the holiday.

Oh, and most important of all… we’ll share a lunch buffet at an Indian restaurant. “Kissing don’t last; cookery do,” or however the George Meredith quote goes.
