It was a long time ago when I had a woman to love on Valentine's Day. It seemed like it was two whole lifetimes ago. Yep, that long ago! That was when I weighed less with a slimmer body and better looking skin.

What's interesting is that quite a few years ago, while working at my present job, I had to deliver a lot of flowers to women from male senders. And then for some years, I would take Valentine's Day off because I couldn't stand having to deliver flowers. The next day people would joke that I took a woman on a romantic trip for the day, which never happened. But in the last few years, there had been no flowers to deliver. Maybe romance is on the way out. This year, it comes on a Sunday, so that's fine with me.
