What did you get for Valentine’s Day?

[LuFins Dad]

Karla surprised me with a bottle of moderately priced rye. It’s a little sweet for my taste and not enough heat and spice, but I am pleased with the sentiment…

[Mik]

Bupkis.

[Mik]

Oh, she did get me a truly hilarious card. I gave her one from last year that I didn’t give her because she felt so bad about not getting me one.

Chocolates

A card, and cards from the kids. Really enjoyed their efforts. We do not exchange presents on Valentine’s Day or our anniversary (of course I still give a card and flowers for those days). Makes it simple for us, especially as we weather the hurricane years of 3 toddlers.

[George K]

Bupkis here as well. At our stage of marriage, a simple hand hold and "I love you," is all that's needed.

Strawberry truffles and ashes.

Maybe he spent the day in Queens. Is that where the show was set?

Like always my favourite confection. A bag of Dutch black liquorice hearts.

We did the sensible thing, and went for dinner on 2/15.

The place was absolutely full of couples of a certain age who are old enough to have gained a bit of common sense

Mrs. George lost some weight for Valentine's day.

She had a cholecystectomy.

Ouch. I hope she's recovering well.

Thanks.

Yeah, doing OK. Gallbladder surgery has been transformed in the last 30 years. It used to be one of the most aggressive, painful, debilitating operations. God help you if you were sick or elderly.

Laparoscopy changed all that. Surgery complete at 11:45. Home at 5:30.

Governor’s Island. With great views of lower manhattan.

We had a spa day.

Besides the normal spa stuff, they had these fabulous heated pools. The were fantastic, until you had to get out into the 30F/-1C air to dry off.

[Mik]

That’s a big old shit-eating grin there, Jon. You look pretty happy.

Allo, govenah!
