Valentine’s
Abel has cabin fever now. He points at the stroller, squawks, climbs onto my chest, and beats it. Soon, Abel, soon.
Like his brothers before him, he attacks my face and snatches at my glasses when I put them on at night. His little nails must have cut inside my eyelid. When I fold it back I find the scab. It has been chafing my eyeball.
Happy Valentine’s (this time, on the day itself). No celebration for Karin & me tonight. We’ll go out later this week.
I did put on Sleepless in Seattle for the family. There aren’t a lot of Valentine’s Day movies. I’ve seen these others:
My Bloody Valentine and the excellent Picnic at Hanging Rock – two for the horror aisle;
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind;
and:
Some Like It Hot.
Irrespective of general merit or demerit, only Sleepless preserves the spirit of, and does justice to, the holiday. (I’ve not seen An Affair to Remember.)
Happy birthday to my long-dead Great Grandad Valentine, my father’s mother’s father.
