Hearts, Half-Off


My favorite part of Valentine’s Day? The day after Valentine's Day, when the picked-over hearts and chocolates go on clearance. (Because, as we all know, hearts and teddy plushes are no longer relevant after Feb. 14th. Henceforth one shall only speak of eggs and bunnies.)

I bought a giant peanut butter chocolate heart for a quarter. It was like I was at the General Store, and it was 1950. And the shelves kind of look like they were raided and plundered for a '50s fallout shelter...However this is Walgreen’s, on North Lombard St, so the shelves generally look like it's the height of the apocalypse.
