Happy Valentine's Day

Sunny days and milder temperatures should lead an adventurer outside to scale Waumbek or Cabot Mountain.

 We shall not cease from exploration  
And the end of all our exploring 
Will be to arrive where we started 
And know the place for the first time.
 ―T. S. Eliot, Four Quartets

However, Valentine's Day intervenes, and the adventure occurs at the mall instead of outdoors,
where visits to candy stores tempt,
 glittery dresses invite admiration,
sparkling Uggs beckon to the eye,
and the pink wrapping at Vicky's stops us in midstride.
Hubba Hubba.
Today, Honey Badger don't need no stinkin' mountain.
