Valentine's Day: Rubbing singles' noses in their lack of a mate and the noses of couples in their lack of time.

We unconsciously touch our mouths, noses, and eyes many, many times each day. These mucous membranes are welcome mats for cold and flu viruses, which are readily transferred from unclean hands.

I just live one day at a time. As the days go by, the years build up.

Quick dinner with ... Ang [Lee] and his wife Jane who's visiting with the children for a while. We talked about her work as a microbiologist and the behaviour of the epithingalingie under the influence of cholesterol. She's fascinated by cholesterol. Says it's very beautiful: bright yellow. She says Ang is wholly uninterested. He has no idea what she does.
I check this out for myself. 'What does Jane do?' I ask.
'Science,' he says vaguely.

Don't wait until it's too late to tell someone how much you love, how much you care.

Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday.
