Who is St. Valentine?
Well depending on who you talk to you may get a different answer. I think the real question on February 14th is, who is Hallmark? I know what you are thinking, here comes a Valentines Day bash blog, on the contrary. There is a time and place in life for the lovey dovey, cutesy smootchie, gag me with a spoon stuff. If the good people of earth have deemed February the 14th a day in which we all pause to show a little appreciation to the one we love, well what's the harm in that?
