I’ve recently returned from a great trip to Chicago. I did a couple
of interviews for WGN-TV and NBC News as well as some
other appearances and interviews. Just two more stops on the
I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Love2K Tour — Boston and New
York City. If you have any media contacts in any of those cities,
feel free to share them with me. I’m always happy to share the
virtues of real romance with those who can help spread the word.

Have a gorgeous week. — Michael

Stephanie Bujon of Nice France won last week’s contest on romantic
gifts under $10. I thought her *Capture a Cloud* idea was really
inventive. You can read it and dozens of other terrific ideas at:

This week’s contest is on ROMANCE & PETS. How have you used an animal
to let your sweetheart know just how special they are?

Winning entry gets a copy of Men Are Like Fish by Steve Nakamoto.

(This was another great idea I received as a result of last week’s
contest. I liked it so much I decided to make it the Tip of the Week.
Be sure to read the other outstanding ideas on the website — Michael)

BETTER THAN A LOVE LETTER
by Mrs. T. Cardozo

To this day I still think what I am about to tell you was the sweetest
gift I was ever given by a boyfriend. A year after my future husband
and I started dating, he decided to go back to school for a couple of
years in a city that was two states away from me.

While we were apart we wrote each other really long, sappy, love
letters. On one of the 3 visits we had in those 2 years, he noticed
that all his love letters were sitting on a shelf on my book case, I
told him that when I see them, I get butterflies thinking about the
words and that was why they were sitting there.

About a week later he sent a small package, instead of a letter and
inside the package was a heart-shaped box that he had crafted out of
card board box, it was definitely a homemade job. He used a cardboard
box he had at home, bought paint, ribbons, glue and glitter from a
craft store, about $8, and made me a beautiful box to store my love
letters.

While I didn’t mind my letters just laying on the shelf, I must say
that the box looks much better sitting there and the fact that I know
he put his heart into it made me love him and it even more.
