Happy Valentine's Day!

Yup, it's that time of year again -- time to celebrate one of the most commercial holidays of the year (probably neck and neck with Christmas and Halloween -- your choice). I'm laughing at my co-worker, right now, as he sits and ponders (and stresses) as to what he should take home to his girlfriend (flowers or chocolate?). It's also probably THE holiday, if you have a significant other, when you shouldn't come home empty-handed -- unless you're a guy in Japan (or Korea or Taiwan, I'm told). He was shocked when I told him that in Japan, the guys get something on V-day, but then have to reciprocate one month later (March 14) on "White Day".
