    3) Thursday > 2 dozen red roses are scheduled to be delivered to her office.
    4) Saturday > Romantic dinner for 2 at her favorite resturaunt.

    Dinner at Bob's Steak and Chop House on Friday night and her gift on Saturday. We might go to Hooters on Saturday night, but not really as a V-day meal.

    I refuse to do flowers, cards, and so on. Dinner at a fancy restaurant is something we can both enjoy and look forward to, so why make it into a hassle and burden. Same with Hooters, I guess. Long story about how I got sucked into the gift part.

    Wow, I'm glad my wifes not on this board! Dude, you're breaking man code twice. Not only are you doing all that crap, you're advertising it.

    I'm taking my wife to the Dallas Museum of Art on Sunday to see a classical guitar performance. She's wanted to go for awhile, so this is her V-Day gift.

    I refuse to do the overpriced flowers and dinner routine. Let some other sucker pay the markup for bad service and poor quality flowers.

    Im working all weekend, letting some schmuck pay me for giving bad service. We are going to be packed on Saturday, and the calls are increasing but we are telling people we only have spots at 10:30. They should have planned ahead. As for gifts, the wedding in June is her V-day gift this year...

    Mmmm, Bob's was very good. The steak was awesome. True, as Sammm would say, it's not a "price performer," but man, is it good. I will go back.

    Just found out we're going to a wine tasting today in Granbury, someplace called Barking Rocks Vineyard. In case anyone else is interested, go to www.barkingrockswine.com Look for the green miata.
