Really, Really Good Advice

Damn... There goes my plans for tonight.  From Neil Gaiman's blog:

Often people come to me and say "As a bestselling author, with many published works to your name, and a basement full of awards, most of them in need of a good polish, you must have some words of advice for the world that you wish to share."

And I do.

It's this.

Dear Guy Who Screwed Up Valentines Day,

Now while I won't assume that all guys who read this blog screwed up Valentines Day, I'd virtually guarantee that at least one, if not some, of you did.  I mean we're guys and its a given that we screw up holidays.  Happens all the time and, yes, that is the voice of at least some experience.  While we could analyze this to death -- fear of committment --stupidity -- obliviousness -- will that really solve the problem?  No.  But I do have a solution.

And, while it might not be a perfect solution, this is actually astonishingly good.  All you need to do is make your significant other "Chocolate Muck Muck Cake", serve it over vanilla ice cream and sincerely apologize.  More than a little groveling will help as well.  This will gain you a number of points and might just make it all better.  If not I recommend jewelry. 

Best,
Scott
