A Longer Post Than I Thought It'd Be

I've been meaning to write a blog post all week about what a sham Valentine's Day is and why it doesn't deserve recognition. The problem with that is Roland Martin has already written an article that says it better than I can. Maybe that's why he's a professional writer.

The real problem with Valentine's Day this year is that it falls on a Saturday. It seems like it's been too long since Teri and I have had a date night where we went out for dinner and then to a movie or some other fun activity (and completely ignored wedding planning activities, family, friends, and any other obligation/responsibility that doesn't fall into one of those categories).

In theory, this Saturday would work for that. However, this Saturday being VD rules that out. I suppose it also doesn't help that I don't have any money to be spending on a proper date night right now anyway. Nor does it help that many outdoor activities are out at this time of the year because of the weather.

What was my point again?
