Happy Valentine’s Day! You can observe it demurely through Victorian acquaintance cards, or wildly through the 2019 March Mammal Madness Valentine set (featuring some contenders in the 2019 competition, no less)! Or you can wait until tomorrow and celebrate Lupercalia, which just might be a good tradition to revive. 

Via my cousin Jeff: There’s a combination bookstore and wine bar in his town, and I didn’t know about it until this morning. What madness is this?

I fell down a rabbit hole yesterday of Ben’s state-by-state reviews of sites on the National Register of Historical Places. Hilarious and educational, especially if you're interested in architecture! But beware if you are a fan of round barns and/or covered bridges (he isn’t. A fan, that is, not a barn or bridge).
