Happy Valentines Day
Love the One you're with
"News from the Frontline of Love" is my choice for this year's Valentine because it features the voices of Thomas Hudson Reeve as Toad Kopple and Kat Caverly as Yenta Budinsky; me and my husband.
Tom and I have been Valentines for 23 years now and I can honestly say that I love this man more today than ever before. "Frontline" was conceived by and directed by me and written by Tom. I am proud to say I am Yenta and I look forward to seeing more of this character.
My personal love poem, written for Tom, comes straight from my heart. Even a clown can be sentimental. Happy Valentines Day to everyone!

Make a Difference this Valentines Day
Who is this Saint Valentine and what does love have to do with it? The Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine, all of whom were martyred. According to one legend, Valentine sent the first "valentine" himself to his love from prison. It was signed "from your Valentine".
Some believe that the Romans has a mid-February custom, that stems from the believe that birds chose their mates on February 14th. Pastors would substitute the names of saints to suppress such practices and February 14th became known as St. Valentines Day, but the custom of celebrating the chosing of a mate, like most old customs, stuck.
St. Valentine was executed in Rome on February 14, about the year 270. The oldest known Valentine, in England, dates from around 1400. According to Catholic.org, St. Valentine is the patron saint of "affianced couples, bee keepers, engaged couples, epilepsy, fainting, greetings, happy marriages, love, lovers, plague, travellers, young people".
Hmmm, the patron saint of greetings??

No Ordinary Day in The Naked City
It starts out like any other morning but something, something is different. I know that this is a day that we can make a difference. What makes Valentines Day such a HUGE holiday? Why is every song just about have something to do with LOVE?
It is part of our condition to be in love with LOVE and this is the day we celebrate it. All I want is some chocolate. There are only two days a year that I must have chocolate - Christmas and Valentines Day. And both are holidays that also celebrate RED, my favorite color.
This is no ordinary day!
