Columnist John Bogert writing in the Daily Breeze (dailybreeze.com) today hit one out of the ballpark with some of his comments on the historical aspects of Valentine's Day. I urge you to click over and read him.
The graf that caught my eye and still has me laughing was this: "And, still, we don't know how Valentine became the patron saint of lovers other than how his feast day just happens (as so many Christian festivals do) to fall on the naughty, virgin-harassing, wolf-howling, ring-a-ding-ding, goat-dancing, wine-swilling Roman festival of Lupercalia."
I can only wish you a Valentine's Day that is half as exciting as that. Just remember that thing about goats though, will you?
