Isn’t romantic
I used to be part of a group of guy friends for Monday Night Football. We were the crew at McArthur Park. I knew these guys for years. Some were married with kids, some had girlfriends. But every Valentine’s day I am reminded of one of the guys & why this Holiday is either for the Schmucks who a) never love or appreciate their partners the rest of the year or b) cheating fools looking to absolve their guilty conscience.
Michael (as I will call him) used to go to Tiffany’s & Co every valentines day to pick up a bobble for his wife. And then continue with a side piece for the other 364 days of the year (sometimes bringing the tart of the month to MNF because after all his wife thought he was just with the “guys”)
It was when he started bringing the side pieces to the bar was when I stopped going after many years of beer & football. I liked his wife and didn’t want to witness his cheating ways.
The end
