Today is Monday, February 14, the Feast of St. Valentine Emperor's Birthday.
Today in history:
On February 14, 1929, gangsters acting on orders from Al Capone gunned down six rival gang members and an optometrist in the wrong place at the wrong time, in what became known as the "St. Valentine's Day Massacre."
Peace.
I dunno, this February is shaping up to be pretty decent.
It would be hard to top last year, though. Jim's death was bad enough. My "partner"'s response on hearing that he'd died was "oh. sympathy. so, are you going to [have an impossibly hard conversation like you've been saying you would for a couple of weeks now] tomorrow instead?" (Said conversation, some days later, was no picnic either.)
Perhaps February has decided to retire, having claimed its crowning moment of 'fuck you.'
