End Notes

Well, it's 5:30 p.m. on February 2, 1994.  The weather outside is quite
chilly, but, thanks to the miracle of central heating, it is quite warm
and cozy inside.  I am writing this column on the request of my beloved
husband, The Editor, so if you like it, send lots and lots of praise to
him for his choice of end notes writers for this month.

What exactly does one say in an end notes column?  Something about an
end... a completion... a termination... a dropped carrier... a finish...
buttocks???  I guess I'll just pick one and go with that.

This month's magazine has dealt mostly with everyone's favorite subject for
the month of February - LOVE!!!  The one thing on earth that is both as
perennial as the grass and as elusive as the title to a song that's going
through your brain.  Without it, we're but hollow realizations of the
fully actualized persons that we are capable of being.

As I write this column, I realize that I never got around to answering
my husband's question for the month of February - "What is the romantic
thing that you've ever had happen to you?"  I've had difficulty answering
this question because almost 5 years of marriage to him is the most
romantic thing that I've ever had happen to me.  I can single out dozens
of individual events that have transpired over the past 5 years, each
of them extremely romantic, but none more or less romantic than the
event that went before it, because each of them was laden with love.

I hope that this month's issue has reminded those of you with a special
romantic interest how precious the gift that you give one another every
day is, and to encourage those of you without a special romantic interest
that, whatever heartaches you have endured, keep trying.  It's worth
it.

Peace and love to all of you.
