Today we’re just going to be sad. It’s a sad time of year, mostly, cold, and our shoulders are tight and we are cold and for many of us, Valentine’s Day and no one romantically loves us, as if we needed a special day to mediate on that sourness, and others of us, who might romantically love someone, the thing can just as easily go wonky.
