Valentine Blues: High Holidays of Love in Low Times

Valentine’s Day is upon us, shopping sites flashing rosy red hearts, but I’ve got the Valentine blues… how about you?

It’s my first V-Day in over three decades without my beloved Captain Max (RIP Max 11/8/1943 – 5/13/2025), aka Pr. Maximillian R. Leblovic Lobkowicz di Filangieri, aka Mickey, my husband of 33 years, publisher, producer, butler, witness, Great Love and #1 lover, my Valentine.

I miss Max every day in so many big and little ways. V-Day is not for widows (Erika Kirk notwithstanding).
