     Happy Valentine's Day

Being a cheapskate on Valentines day doesn't always end well!
Picture
I, for one, have always had a problem with Cupid!  I would seriously like to meet the guy that dreamt that one up!  (Or maybe not)!  I'm just sayin, "who believes you fall in love after being shot in the heart with an arrow"?  I don't think you would find one person, living in Sherwood Forest, who believes that works!  Nevertheless, this little guy shows up each year on February 14th acting like he has a real job.  I just don't buy it!

​I guess the only thing we can do is not make the mistake that stupid guy in the cartoon did. Buy your wife candy and flowers and say something nice to her!  After all, it's Valentine's Day.
Appropriately, the Turntable begins with Connie Francis song "Stupid Cupid"  Remember the Beach Boys?  They are on today's flipSide!  Skip Wallen is back with great memories of Alaska entitled  "​Dance of the Halibut Spirit"  This is the first of a four part series bringing back his early life in Alaska.  Don't miss Skip's Corner!

That's a wrap!  
​Till Next week / be safe and I'll see you on the Turntable!
