Another Valentine's Issue of the Blender of Love Digest is here... the seventh, by my reckoning, though the Blender itself is well into its second decade.

I think it's great to have a day of Hearts and Candy. Commercialization, Shmercialization... selling out is the New Sincerity anyway.

This month we have a fun Blender Feature, the results of a little game on the Blender Board...Tongue Twisters to Tantalize and Titillate.

By the way, if you're a regular reader, why not come say Hi on the Blender Board? And of course, the Blender's main purpose is to be a place for people to send in their romantically themed works...it's a great place to get friendly feedback.

Another great month, so read and enjoy!
--Kirk, Blender-Keeper

Great closing line.
