Valentines Day + Mazzio's = ?????

For those of you who don't know. . I am the hubs talked about in McSassy's Blog.

Well on this "holiday" (marketers attempt to fatten their pockets) we expressed our love at the Mazzio's Pizza Buffet, along with the grandparents and/or any other relative who had kids dumped on them tonight. But the mood was festive. . afterall it was Kid's night. The Diet Coke and pizza flowed freely, the conversation was carefree and effortless. Disinterested single mothers who talked on their cell phones while their children held people hostage at their tables. A scary old man leaned over to the table next to him informing the children that a mean old bastard named Santa Claus would withhold gifts "of love" if their behavior does not match is generalized and subjective standards.

Aside
It is my personal opinion that the Santa Claus list was a mass conspiracy by the large departments stores of the late 1900's. Their trickle down theory of fear economics proved to be quite fruitful. If they gave parents a helping hand in disciplining children, then children [being suckers] would inevitably obey therefore giving their parents no other recourse than to . . . spend money at their department stores. (Oliver stone. . .stick it up your rear.)

Back to the story
Then out of nowhere a young girl in a black cocktail dress appeared and just as quickly disappeared. Maybe she was sent to remind us of the romantic side of Valentine's day. . . maybe she just got dumped and decided to stuff her face with pizza. We left with our belly's full, our hearts happy and our love stronger than ever.

In all honesty, I love you Sassy. You knock my socks off. I am a proud man to be married to you.

Happy Valentine's Day.
