Avete amici,
I guess I'll crosspost my Outpost reply-post!
Avete omnes!
I believe the month of February is sacred to Juno. The St. Valentine story sounds about like I've always heard it. But more generally, we are heading into the whole Parentalia-Caristia season. Parentalia, for the Ancestor-spirits, runs from the 13th through the 21st; Caristia is the next day, and reserved especially for those living family members who are closest to us. Yes, finally a day in which you don't have to pretend to like people just because they're related! ...So it's not a bad time to be considering the bonds of affection, of many kinds.

Me too, especially if I've muffed anything. >({|:-)
