Hello to all you chocolate-buying, heart-fluttering, date-planning, teeth-whitening, red-wearing, flower-ordering trying-to-find-happiness-in-the-middle-of-the-cold enthusiasts! Yes, it's true, Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and much like Groundhog's Day, for many of you will be slightly predictable and anticlimactic. But for the select few of you who know what romance truly is, this will be a special occasion and you'll remember it for months to come... until your birthday or Christmas, whichever comes first. In any case, I'll be kicking back and treating myself to a hearty dinner, probably to Valentine's episodes of Futurama and The Simpsons, just for old times sake, because you gotta love yourself too. Underneath this picture of downtown SLC last week, bathed in cold water just before the snow really hit, are the next two weeks worth of events to check out. Please enjoy, and remember, if you truly love someone, just say it already. Life's too short to hold back on truth.
