It feels like a Chet Baker kind of V-Day this year…

I couldn’t decide so posted them both. Do you have a preference?

*If you start the instrumental version 5 seconds before the other, they actually match up quite well. It’s kind of a cool effect

Earlier this week, our friend C sent us a poem that her 17 yr old daughter wrote. I wasn’t going to post it here, but that was then and this is now and the darkness of it fits my mood.

 Valentine Poem

Valentine’s Day sure is dandy

It’s chock-full of heartbreak and candy!

Bleeding love and chocolate cremes

Strawberry swirls and ruined dreams

Those little chalky hearts that make your teeth crack

Long stemmed roses, and a knife in the back

The air is full of sweet coconut and fear

(I’m pretty happy I’m single this year.)

Please don’t think that I want to be single. It’s just been a tough week and I’m feeling like ummm just not very romantic.

Cheers,

sss
