St. Valentine’s Day

Valentine was a third century pastor who was imprisoned for his faith.

Celebrants traditionally enter the rooms with the shout, “Hail Great Chieftan o’ the Puddin-Race.” While the drinking of …

You have, to be sure, known pain and fear, And the anguish of failure and frustration are near; Yet your eyes read companionship not distance, Your home beckons forth, with no hint of resistance; Indeed, your cloak, though threadbare, is half mine, You are my friend, and I, most assuredly, am thine. –Tristan Gylberd
