St. Valentine's Day

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Tokyo, 2010.02.10

In Japan, St. Valentine's Day is a curious affair in which females buy males chocolate. This year, we'll be launching a business.

It's a diamond engagement ring business, and we're essentially ready to go. It occurred to me that Valentine's Day would be a fine start day, something we can use "in the literature" for the life of the company.
