In 2006 I started posting "The Strange Case of Mr. Ballantine's Valentine" every February 14. I'm not going to do that this year, because I was doing it as a sort of protest. I had been single for six years in 2006 and was tired of February 14 being Sorry You're Single Day.

It's 2012 and I'm still single, but I've stopped feeling that I shouldn't be. Sometime over the course of the last year I got to a place where I'm comfortable being who I am (except the overweightness, but that's not quite the same thing), and my answer to Sorry You're Single Day this year is "Why should I be sorry? I'm happy as I am."

February 14 is also Ferris Wheel Day, so Happy Ferris Wheel Day!
