Credit goes to my old friend Michael Rosenthal for the tradition of sending Valentines to my friends every year instead of Christmas-Hannukah-Kwaanza cards. I can never get it together around the holidays anyway. Plus, I must admit, I'm a complete and total squishy-in-the-middle pushover for anything mushy. I love Valentine's Day, especially with all the kid stuff: candy hearts, goofy cards, red and pink and purple glitter. I've tried to make cards every year, first with Chloé and Wynham, and now with Claire and Jack. This year I ran out of cards and time; if you didn't get one, I'm really, really sorry. So please accept this virtual valentine, sealed with a kiss...
