If you didn’t realize Valentine’s Day was today until now,
you’re out of luck. It’s too late to make a reservation at your favorite restaurant.
There are eateries that don’t take reservations, of course. But waiting an hour
or more for a table diminishes the appeal. By now, all the great valentines in
the card shop are gone, and they’ve already been replaced with Easter
merchandise. There’s a reduced selection of cards at the supermarket, but you’ll
be competing with eight burly guys who also suddenly remembered today’s February 14. The florist is already busy delivering blooms for people who
planned ahead. The grocer may still have flowers, if you don’t mind them
looking picked-through. At this point, your best bet may be chocolate: brownies
or Toll House cookies fresh from the oven, or strawberries or Oreo cookies
dipped in chocolate. Or you could MAKE a card. Either way, write yourself a
note to remember next Valentine’s Day BEFORE it happens.
