Valentine's Day Scrooge

Bah lovebug! I am not a Valentine’s Day fan. I think it is the most imbecilic “holiday” we men have to suffer through. If you can even call it a holiday, it’s not even recognized as such. I work hard to show my love to the Bezal all year long, then if I screw up on Valentine’s Day, it’s all for naught. (Jokes, Beezy, jokes... LB is very gracious and understanding and would never react in such a way. I love you, LB.) But you get my point. There is a lot of unnecessary pressure to come through on Valentine’s Day.

However, I am married to a female, which throws my feelings on the subject matter out the window. Despite how I feel, I know LB’s expectations and would never want to disappoint. So, from a surprise trip to the beach to a fancy smancy dinner here in the ATL, I have done my fair share of Valentine’s Day celebrations.
