Valentine's Day
Here is an interesting anecdote that I heard from the owner of the restaurant that we ate at yesterday ... (The owner did his bachelors at MIT, MBA from Wharton and then dropped out of the rat race at the age of 45, and started the restaurant, "Carvers Creek" about 11 years ago).
We got to talking about Valentine's Day and how incredibly commercialized it has become, and about how people's expectations of their spouses are sky-rocketing as well ....
He told us about this guy who proposed to his present-wife at a Snoopy's (which is a hot dog chain in Raleigh). She accepted, they got married and now, every Valentine's Day, he takes her there. For a total expense of $12 ! This guy is an absolute genius ! All he has to do is tell his wife, "Honey, this is so romantic, remember, this is where I proposed to you !"
He has gotten away with this for the last 12 years !
