Would this be a good moment to declare my undying love for you, Neil?

The generous nature and inclusiveness of your love-fest inspired me to shed my usual shunning of Valentine’s Day (too cutesy too public too much) and consider embracing the holiday myself. But going against the grain isn’t the easiest thing in the world. I started off, with an early spurt, and sputtered about until I ended up with this slightly twisted Valentine’s Day offering for you. And then nerves, embarrassment, and the ache of a sensitive tooth, made me think I should get real, and retract the offer. But all that grain rubbing aside, the bottom line is this. Mr./Ms. Valentine – thanks for the love!

lol Sandra. Actually I knew about the honor yesterday as I had a great deal more to say on the subject than what I posted in comments. Perhaps I will end up doing a full post.

And yeah, it’s nice being crush of the day and all but it was even nicer receiving cards and candy from kids who regularly tell me that I’m “not nice” or “[I’m} doing too much.” Made me feel like Sally Field and all.

I know you’re not measuring (too hard to figure out how to spell gauge + ing) your success by the number of visitors, are you? It’s a great and wonderful kinda performance piece – just the idea of being able to participate is so … connecting.

It’s VERy cool that you don’t wait until some crisis or tragedy to marshall your resources for a little love and fun and wit and wonderful-ness. I bet that’s not a word, is it?

And those few reviews? pft. Like with anything, it’s good to consider the source. (Since I’m older and lazier, I classify it under ‘sports.’ )

Do you think Dagney is extra-honored to be the Crush of the Day?

I spent most of today with my head under a great big mental pillow, oblivious to the fake jollity surrounding me. Now that Hallmark has filled up the coffers can we please get back to normal?

I downloaded and installed Yahoo Messenger just for this and it was so worth it. Seriously. I was totally affirmed. Then I immediately uninstalled the program because the creepy little smiley face seemed a little too happy for my taste.
