Happy Valerie Bertinelli Day...oh wait, that's in June. Happy Valentine's Day! Yeah, that's it. Well, here we are--the love-liest day of the year. I was gonna write some big cynical piece about how Valentine's Day has just turned into another big highly marketed shopping occasion, but then I realized I'd never hear the end of that...especially from Jaclyn. So, without further ado, your WBKR LOVE EXPLOSION!!

THE LOVE BOAT

Once upon a time, my dad was hired by the Riverpark Center to chauffeur actors like Hal Holbrook and Gavin MacLeod from the Evansville Regional Airport to the Riverpark when these men were in their respective plays. What's that got to do with "The Love Boat?" Gavin MacLeod played Captain Stubing. That's what it's got to do with "The Love Boat." (Not responsible for hokey guest stars):

The 1998 overhaul of the Volkswagen Beetle's body design was not among my favorite decisions. But what do I know? They sold, and sold, and sold. And they still sell, and sell, and sell. But they'd look SO MUCH BETTER if there was a #53 on each door and the hood. Herbie the Love Bug...you're on:

I could go on, but it's lunch time. And I LOVE lunch time. Get it? Love? Valentine's Day? ...Oh well.
