Both the NY Post and WSJ had articles describing this week as the busiest for private eyes because of dual priorities of many men: the wife/gf versus the mistress/2nd gf. Apparently Feb 13 is the day reserved for the mistress, so all those couples out for dinner on the 13th are not necessarily overflow reservations. An interesting litmus test is what you do on the 13th vs. 14th. According to the Post, your evening on the 13th may entail expensive wine, La Perla lingerie and flirtatious banter while on the 14th with your wife, the evening includes a simple $15 Zinfandel, classic romantic restaurant with comfortable silence for conversation.

Well I'm not advocating any of this but what I did get out of this is that the reason I wrote 50 First Dates is to remind folks to keep the flame burning bright. If the flame burned out a while ago then perhaps this is the evening to reignite things and revisit the torrid romance you once had. But the real key is to renewing your committment to your woman and beginning 50 first dates.
