Happy Sweetest Day!!!

Also written in Phoenix... while waiting for our connecting flight to LAX...

What is the deal with Sweetest Day? Who celebrates this?

It is a marketing construct, set up by companies to sell things like greeting cards, stuffed bears and chocolates, to make the gullible use this pathetic excuse to sell things. Similar days, like Valentine's, Mother's Day, and Father's Day have some history to them. Sweetest Day, however, is just a creation...

But I will say this... if it gives me a chance to celebrate my love for my wife... I guess it's good enough for me.
