Today is February 15th. It is the 1503 anniversary of Khosrau being crowned king of Persia. It is St. Louis, Missouri’s birthday. It is the day of the Flores Theater fire in Acapulco, Mexico. It is the day after Valentine’s Day. From the time I was twelve, I’ve kept a Valentine’s Day Journal to record [...]
My Dearest Kyra, Valentine’s Day might be an over-commercialized excuse for companies to shove jewelry, sappy cards, 2-for-the-price-of-1 dinners, and stupid stuffed animals holding “I *heart* U” pillows down our throats.

Singles Awareness Day, can be exactly what [...]
So it’s almost Valentines Day. A lot of you are hopelessly single, drifting from fantasy to reality, wondering if you’ll ever find “the one.” Chances are, what with all those years ahead of you, you will definitely find the one. It may seem now that everyone in the world is coupled up and cheerful, unlike us [...]
Valentine’s Day is coming up and for those of you who have a Valentine, there’s only one breakfast that will guarantee you both will be taking a sick day. And by sick day, I mean an *ahem* “sick” day. This basis of recipe comes courtesy of a certain red and white checked cookbook. And, because I’m [...]
