~~~    From the Editor      ~~~

If you celebrate Valentine’s Day I hope it was truly special this
year.

I am quite happy that I decided not to do any television or radio
interviews this *season.* In years past I would sometimes do up to 20
interviews a day.  After 7 years of giving hundreds of interviews it
was time for a break.  I didn’t miss it one bit.  I enjoyed all the
extra time I had with Athena and Ashton instead.

Have a comforting week.  — Michael

I love getting phone calls from Brad.  He is the mystery shopping
coordinator for a certain high end steak house in town.  Every few
months he gives me a call to see if Athena and I are interested at
dining at this special restaurant.  We have a very romantic/lavish
dinner and then get paid $125 for going to their website and filling
out a report on how the entire meal went.  I also get lots of offers
to do other restaurants or retail shops but this one is my favorite.
If you live in or near a city that has lots of chain stores or
restaurants you might consider signing up to be a mystery shopper too.

Magic Puffs
by Nancy Grizzle
http://www.TheRomantic.com

I once dated a man who was attending college and was so broke he was
forced to be creative!  We spent a lot of time at a nearby park,
talking about everything – making wishes and blowing the fluff off of
dandelion puffs (my mother always told me your wish would come true if
you could blow all the fluff off with one breath).

One day, as I sat at my desk at work, he walked in with a pot full of
dandelion puffs, all wrapped in florist foil.  He had gone to a
florist shop and purchased some kind of fixative (hairspray will work)
and some foil – gone to the park, sprayed the dandelions, stuck them
in some dirt, and wrapped the pot in foil.  He included a card that
said “May all your dreams come true”.

Although the relationship ended a couple of years later, I still
remember that as one of the sweetest gestures – romantic because it
was so personal and so exclusively “us”!
