I hope that you had a nice day! I had a good evening with my four valentines, but our primary celebration was Saturday night. We went out for Thai food and then to Dairy Queen for dessert. I’m sorry to say that the Thai food wasn’t a big hit with Bethany or Rebecca, but I’m quite glad to say that Sarah liked it a lot! Of course, she simply had fried rice – nothing too savory like Julie’s garlic chicken, or too spicy like my Tom Kha Ghai soup – but that’s a good step in the right direction! For me, the only thing better than enjoying a Thai meal is having leftovers. I am forever indebted to my boss for introducing me to the joy of Thai food when I arrived as an intern over ten years ago. I could go on and on, but enough about Thai food. The ice cream we had a Dairy Queen was enjoyed by all, which ensured that everyone had a great Valentine’s celebration.

Update: Actually, tonight did turn out to be an eventful Valentine's evening. Julie and I had some quiet time together as a couple, if you know what I mean – we painted the kitchen and the dining area! Woo-hoo!
