Happy Valentine’s day folks. I hope it was a good one. It’s funny that there’s a special day for love.. but not special days for some of the other normal human emotions.. Apathy day ? Anger day ? .. Well. I’ll take love any day..
We did a low key observation today.. but it had all the right elements.. Heart  shaped cookies from my mom, heart shaped plates with hearts on them.

Sleepy boy with heart shaped waffles.

Even Chai got the opportunity for some flirting.. she went to the Crate Escape, Doggy Day Care place.. She gets so excited that she almost jumped out the window.  We take here to Crate Escape sometimes when neither Diane nor I can take her out for some exercise.

The day passed as most days do now.. fast and full. I spent the day at Champlain.. I’m trying to get our joint project wrapped up for our deadline tomorrow..  I love going there… but I’ll sure be glad when this project’s out the door.

I dropped by work on the way home to load my gear fro the show I hav tomorrow morning at Baird school.  

I also took the chance while at work to get a new badge.. I loose my badges all the time.. every few months it seems. My dirty little secret is that I usually am able to get into the building without them using simple Jedi mind tricks (” I look like I belong in this building.. please open the door for me”)  .. I do want to have a badge though.. so I went in and got one.. They offered to use my old picture.. but I wanted one with my Sam Button.. Here it is

By the time I got home it was nearly 7.. The three of us had a nice low-key stir fry dinner.. then we did a bit more Valentining.. Gabe made us a cool card..   And we did some more chocolate, flowers and stuff like that.

Then we did the est thing possible. the three of us when to Sam’s room and watched a really dumb/good  Jacky Chan movie (Rush Hour 3) together… I couldn’t have asked for a better night..

I was getting ready for bed when I came across this old valentine that Diane had found behind her dresser today.. It was good to see it.. it brought the tears that I had somehow been looking for  since my birthday last week.. good tears though.. Sometimes they just get backed up

Well my friends.. hug you loved ones for me… do it everyday !.. And while we’re thinking of hearts.. remember to carry and organ donor card with you.. and discuss it with your loved ones. There many ways to give love…

Love you guys.. love you Sam
