Love Stinks?

Johnny Rotten once described love as “two minutes and fifty-two seconds of squishy sounds." While we disagree with the time (isn’t it more like 15 minutes?), we dig the cynicism, especially around Valentine’s Day.

Johnny Rotten once described love as “two minutes and fifty-two seconds of squishy sounds." While we disagree with the time (isn’t it more like 15 minutes?), we dig the cynicism, especially around Valentine’s Day.

So instead of hiring a babysitter and getting all dressed up to wait in line for an hour to snag a dinner table on V-Day, consider taking yourself and the kiddos to the center.
