I sort of don't understand Valentine's Day. Originally, it was started to honor the martyr, Saint Valentine. Chaucer then turned this day of massacre into a "courting" holiday. Only Chaucer could do that, right? Now it means chocolate, jewelry, flowers, and waiting at a restaurant for so long that you could eat your arm off. Hmmmmm.....I'm not knockin' it, but I just don't get it. Read the Wiki page about it:

Here's the Word of the Day:
exoteric \ek-suh-TER-ik\,
adjective:
1. Suitable for or communicated to the general public.
2. Not belonging, limited, or pertaining to the inner or select circle, as of disciples or intimates.
3. Popular; simple; commonplace.
