Skip it. It's not worth being stupid. Fortunately, I married a wife who's ok with that idea. For those of you who haven't done this, you might end up buying flowers at other random times through the year, or taking her to dinner at other times, you know, to promote the idea that we shouldn't have a single particular DAY set aside to show our love, but that we should love each other all year long.

Hey, it worked for me. Good luck to the rest of you.

Something that's worked for me in the past, when I wasn't married to someone as sane, was to make dinner. Skip the flowers, just make a nice dinner. It doesn't have to be fantastic, but you need to put forth effort. If your cooking expertise topped out at Mac 'n' Cheese, try making simple spaghetti. If you're a master chef, then you'd better be prepared to do a lobster bisque and grouper with frizzled leeks. Either way, according to my wife's feminine logic, you're covered, because you're "showing effort."

Cheers,
