Looking for that very special something for that very special someone

Shameless plug alert: I'm going to plug something from one of my advertisers.

Not, however, because he's one of my advertisers. Just because his stuff is excruciatingly neat.

I was out last night with, among other people, the charming Amy Langfield, who gave me one of her business cards. It has her information on one side, and on the other a charming cartoon from Hugh McLeod.

I adore Hugh McLeod's cartoons . . . so much so, that I bought a couple for a friend on his birthday . . . and while I was shopping, couldn't resist picking up one for myself. I was just looking for a frame for it yesterday.

And yesterday I was also thinking about a post I did in last year's pre-Valentines rush about where guys should buy flowers (Calyx and Corolla, hands down -- the Jane Galt Pick of the Season is the Lipstick Red Bouquet.) I thought about doing another post this year, on chocolate or something, and then forgot to do it.

Putting the two together, I thought "I should plug Hugh!" For that ever-so-clever, lightheartedly ironic and utterly original creature in your life, why not buy a nice Hugh McLeod business card cartoon? They're adorable, hilarious, and I guarantee they don't have seven of them already sitting on the bottom of a drawer.

Just a thought. Anyway, happy Valentine's day to everyone, and if you haven't found love yet, may it find you.

Sorry...Valentine's Day shall always be known as February 14th to me.

At least I stopped sitting under the empty mailbox ala Charlie Brown.

*SIGH*

I concur in this plug. I hadn't had business cards for several years, and I bought a set from Hugh last month. Everybody loves them (and the "business" side is as elegant as the cartoon side is funny).

The first comment requires a counterpoint.

I began my relationship with my wife on Valentines Day, 1959. (Yes, that's 45 years ago.) We will celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary in June.

We have a mailbox too, but we don't sit under it waiting for our future to appear by "snail mail".
