I'll be leaving in half an hour to pick up the other two for the gig we do tonight at a retirement home after supper. (we are invited for supper too, yum!)

This is part of the bluegrass band I am in.There are 5 members in the full band, but supper gigs are often only the 3 of us who have variable work hours
(translation: 2 of us are retired, the other works part time)

Several weeks ago, I agreed to do this gig, not thinking that the 14th was anything special.
My wife reminded me that it IS: we go out to supper, just the two of us, every valentine's evening.

She's forgiven me, but I suspect she won't forget my transgression.
In any case we are booked for dinner at the usual romantic restaurant this friday.

...Though it did embarrass me when Sue phoned for reservations and asked if they would still be decorated in valentine mode!

Happy ValDay to you and your loved ones

Rich
