Valentine's Day ...

So I'm so proud of my friend Liz (she of the words of wisdom here). She has been writing pieces for AM New York for about a year now - working her way through the trenches, writing stuff on assignment, and doing a great job. I'm so proud of her. And in today's paper (in the print version, and online) - she has a massive Valentine's Day Gift Guide. One of the things about the assignment was that it had to be gifts that maybe you wouldn't think of - not just chocolates or candy or whatever. More creative types of gifts were asked for. And Liz came up with some truly awesome ideas. Here's a link to it - but you want to click on the slideshow over to the right to see the true glory of all of her work! I loved picking up the paper outside Port Authority today - in the blistering wind - with the smell of hot pretzels mixing with the smell of exhaust from the busses - flipping thru the paper as I walked, and finding her 4 page spread. I felt famous by proxy.

Ya done good.

I like the idea of the old fashioned barber shop shave as a gift. I have "a Valentine" this year and I am stumped. It's times like this when I realize I am more like my father than I had ever hoped.
