The stars have mandated that today is Adore Jennifer at Saying Yes<\/em> day<\/a>. The stars did not declare today “Jennifer General Appreciation Day”. No, they ordered a “J’Adore Jennifer Day”.<\/p>\n

The Romans and Greeks taught us what happens when mere mortals attempt to defy the constellations–and why should we want to in this instance, except out of perverse obstinacy? I say we do what we can to please the stars, and Jennifer, and render unto Jennifer the blogy attentiveness that is deservedly hers…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Shrines and ancient art work are to be delivered here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My contribution is this particularly “come hither” Bacchus. Almost looks like he’s daring you to have that first drink of the day (or evening). I can’t imbibe, Bacchus having kicked my ass many years ago, but I don’t believe Jennifer is prohibited. If I was in her vicinity, I’d buy her that first drink of the evening, get myself some cranberry juice, and toast her health and tidings of good fortune.<\/p>\n

May the stars look favorably upon me for obeying their dictum.<\/p>\n
