Squeezing a little more love out of Valentine’s Day

As I write this, there are still a few more hours left to Valentine’s Day here in Seattle, so I’m taking the opportunity to share a few tidbits from the day.

Jacksonville Airport

At Florida’s Jacksonville International Airport (JAX), volunteers continued their tradition of handing out Valentine’s Day carnations to arriving and departing passengers.  (They do this on Mother’s Day as well).

The Smithsonian Air and Space Museum shared this cute Charles Lindbergh-inspired Valentine:

And, although it’s not polite to listen in to other people’s conversations, today while waiting in line at a coffeeshop, I overheard this heartwarming conversation between two men:

He #1: “So where are you taking your wife for Valentine’s Day dinner?”

He #2: “Nowhere. We went out yesterday.”

He #1: “So what? That was yesterday. Today is a new occasion.”
