more than a gross

[reverancepavane]

I think today I shall abandon a tradition that I have carried on for far more years than I really care to remember. I had a tradition, you see, that each Valentine Day I used to give out 12 (mainly white [1]) single roses, and place a 13th dark red rose on the grave of a certain someone I cared rather deeply for. But over the last couple of years I have found that too many of the recepients want to read things into this act, and the fun and joy of getting someone to smile has (mostly) gone. Besides, I'm running out of people that I can give them too, even anonymously. So I shall, at long last, and probably beyond time, stop. Although it does feel strange, not to be conspiring with friends over this matter. It also means that I am breaking my long-standing covenant with the Oracle of Thespis. Which in turn means I am no longer under its protection. Such as it was. [1] Although I always did prefer to give green roses methinks. Although I think, in the language of flowers, Molly is probably the most appropriate flower for the day. <grin>
