Well, tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. Karen slipped some Sweethearts candy in my lunch.

To help put you in the Valentine’s Day spirits, here is a link to a get a free copy of Marvin Gaye’s Let’s Get It On from Amazon.com.

The link is only good today and tomorrow.  While you’re there, you better order some chocolate, too.

Our weather is wonderful after today’s storms blew through town. At +60° F, you can’t beat it.

Here is what the front looked like earlier:

It was not a bad storm, but it did dump a lot of rain quickly.

The Nook had their release event for Terrapin Beer Co.’s “Dos Cocoas” Chocolate Porter.

It was great! It had a very balanced flavor. Everyone was impressed.

Here is how Terrapin describes it:

“The “Dos Cocoas” is a traditional Porter with a chocolaty experimental twist. “Spike” incorporated two types of chocolate at two different stages of production to achieve the balanced chocolate flavors in the “Dos Cocoas”. The first addition was 60 pounds of cocoa powder added in the whirlpool. Next, the porter was aged for one month on a 60 pound bed of cocoa nibs to really bring the dark chocolate flavors home. The result is a fine chocolate aroma, a unique bitterness and a tantalizingly balanced chocolate flavor from both the cocoa powder and the nibs.”

Katie Beth’s Aunt Sharon gave her a Valentine’s Day shirt, which looks lovely.

We went outside to see the flowers on this wonderful day.

She also played with granddaddy’s pond including throwing her soccer ball into the water.

I am sitting at The Nook enjoying a wonderful beer. I got to compare Rogue’s and Olde Towne’s Chocolate Stout side by side.

And, friends enjoyed the event, too.
