VALENTINE'S DAY

BLOG POST FOR WEEK OF FEBRUARY 14, 2011.
Post Due: Friday by 3:00 p.m.
Comments Due: Comments are welcome, but not required this week :)

It's St. Valentines Day! Did you know that in the Middle Ages, boys and girls would pick their valentines by drawing names out of a bowl? The name that was picked was then worn on the person's sleeve for a week. This is where we get our modern day saying "to wear your heart on your sleeve." Today, this idiom means that it is easy for other people to know how a person is feeling. In the spirit of the occasion, here is this week's blog post:

If you could send a valentine to any person, living or passed, who would it be and why? Post the valentine message you would send.

I'm looking for: thoughtfulness, humour or creativity (extra props if you write it in the form of a poem!)
