Last week’s birthday ideas are now up.
http://theromantic.com/stories/birthday/main.htm

I’ve got to try out some of those ideas. They were awesome!!

Due to huge media interest, I’m posting my contest a bit
earlier than I planned to. The RoMANtic’s Guide to Popping
the Question contest runs until Feb 28, 2001. I’m searching
for the world’s most romantic marriage proposals. If you’ve
got a great story, you might win the Grand Prize trip to Aruba.
There are also 150 second place prizes. All winning stories
will be included in my next book — named, what else, The
RoMANtic’s Guide to Popping the Question.

Have a cozy week. — Michael

Listening to some of your old favorites and slow dancing in the house.
Simple, but when is the last time you did it?

It happened again. I received so many outstanding ideas from last
week’s contest that I can’t decide to whom I should award the prize.
I posted about twenty of the best so, read the stories and tell me
your favorites (up to 3).

>From those who cast the votes I’ll pick one person to win a container
of Glass Chalk — great for writing love letters on glass and mirrors.
Last time only 20 or so people voted so your odds are really good at
winning.

An ideal love: To love with all desire and yet to be as kind as an old
man past desire.

SHARE THE SUNDAY SECTION
by Michael Webb

I’m not very good at crossword puzzles. On my own I can usually fill
out two-thirds of it with a little bit of difficulty. However, when
Athena and I work on one together it is much more fun and a lot less
frustrating.

I know of couples where it is a weekly ritual to get the Sunday paper
and work out the crossword puzzle together over coffee and pastries.
Some of them have the paper delivered at home and others walk or drive
to a cafe or donut shop and read the paper and complete the crossword
puzzle there. If crossword puzzles are not your style, how about the
Jumble puzzles or at least reading the comics to each other?

There is tremendous satisfaction with tasks completed together. It
binds a couple. All too often he reads the sports section and she
reads the home section and little is read together. Nothing is
shared.

Begin a new tradition in your family to start the week off right by
sharing the Sunday paper and maybe doing a crossword or other puzzle
together.
