Love is War

Valentine’s Day has many wondering the best way to a girl’s heart. Flowers? Chocolate? Well, for one particular lady, the answer is a knock-down-drag-out full on brawl. I don’t expect Penny and Zero to have the same relationship Penny and Eko had, but my hope is to help them cultivate their own brand of companionship and camaraderie. And I know the best way to do that is by encouraging my little David to battle against Goliath. Penny is not the doting older sibling that Eko was. She makes little accommodation for  Zero when they’re wrestling across the carpet of their Coliseum. For some, love is a gentle song with soft words. Around here, the music of love is played with crashing dog-cymbals and tails eagerly beating the floor like war drums.  It’s a wild and joyful tune I’m delighted to hear again. It’s only the beginning for these two, but it’s exactly the raucous beginning I hoped for. Here’s to all the battles, romps, and love to come!
