Instead of candy and hearts and gooey sticky stuff for Valentine’s Day, my husband has made me a weird video each year that we’ve been together. Unfortunately several of them are lost to hard drives past and in files that are supported by a server that no longer exists, but I’ve found three of them for you to “enjoy” or maybe not. Here’s 2008’s (the Valentine’s Day before we got married): 

Here’s last years’:

And this year’s is a departure from the previous two themes. The introduction to it goes: “Dear Claire: when my parents sent me my old rollerblades out of the blue for some reason, you said I’d never use them. I told you that I would use them to skate around the basement, in my underwear, and while listening to that song they use in that Chase bank rock climbing commercial. At the time, you laughed… Sincerely, Steve.”

Happy Valentine’s Day! Hope yours is as weird as mine is.
