A Few Notes On Valentine's Day!

  My wife and I joined two close friends
for a day on the town yesterday!
  First stop, a nice romantic movie. We
were sure the women would appreciate
a flick staring Denzel Washington!
   It was tough to tell though. We couldn't
ask over the gun fire and squealing tires!
   OK. Maybe it did turn out to be more
of a "guy's movie." But I'm fairly sure
those dark chocolate Raisinettes I gave
her made it all worthwhile!
   Afterwards we headed out to our
favorite restaurant which happens to
be located in Schuylkill County!
   There was a time when a date might
wonder if her guy would claim to run
out of gas on a Valentine's road trip.
    Now we keep searching for the
lowest price per gallon to make sure
we've got a tank full at the lowest
possible cost!
     Our dining spot turned out to be
the hit of the day!
      Fully decorated for Valentine's
Day the place featured special menu
items and deserts, a heart shaped
balloon at each table and, my
favorite, an elderly gentleman
who wanders around the room
playing tunes, mostly Italian, on
his accordion!
     It's probably just a coincidence
but he always seems to play the
theme from the "Godfather" when
he gets near my table. He takes
requests and I can honestly
say I never made him an offer he
had to  refuse!
    In the spirit of the day I joined
him in a search for mutual harmony
as we serenaded my wife with an
old tune called "Let Me Call You
Sweetheart."
     Then just when I though I was
out of it. he drug me back in for
another golden oldie!
      It wasn't Italian. But
I knew all the words...if not the
notes!
     Good film, good food, good friends,
and a couple of good tunes make for a
pretty great day!
     Hope you had one too and that all
your NEWS is good!
