Happy Valentine's Day!

Sign of the times, from New York Times:

[...] on Yahoo, searches for “cheap engagement rings” are “off the charts” compared with a year ago, according to Vera Chan, a trend analyst for the company.Other searches that are up over last year include “cheap lingerie,” “free Valentine’s Day cards” and “homemade Valentine’s Day gifts.”

Cheap engagement rings sounds almost like an oxymoron. But I liked that part:

Personal jewelry is being replaced by personal poems.

Maybe that's good news. So on that happy note, happy Valentine's Day to everyone!
