Valentine's Day

Since we are in the beginning of a brand new week, I must refer to this as last week, but last week I received an email from some company and they were soliciting romantic stories from the memories from my high school class. So I sent our story in for the contest. I am biased, but I still think our story is a winner. I don't know why we shouldn't win.

Yesterday, we were listening to A Prairie Home Companion on the radio. They were talking about a contest in which you could submit poems or songs which you sent to someone you love. Kate thought I should submit a song I wrote for her when she was a baby. Cindy thought I should submit the poem I wrote for her when we were in college.

So I have submitted the poem to A Prairie Home Companion. If I am fortunate, they will read it on the air next Saturday.

I told Cindy that for the moment this is her Valentine's Day present. I think she might go for it. Later this week, I am going to record the song I wrote for Kate when she was a week old. I will submit it later in the week. Who knows? Perhaps they will play the song and read the poem. Perhaps I will win the contest as well.
