I have this giant banner that says Happy Valentines Day (wifes name). 20 years ago in the middle of the night during a blizzard I covered the front of her high school with it, and had her locker filled with roses. This is how I got her attention to go out with me. A picture of the school even made the local newspaper.

What day is your wedding anniversary?
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
