Felicia's Just Felicia, Pat's Standing Up, Connie's Alone, Plus The Return Of Hot Espresso And A Frenchy Boy Secret Song!

Happy "Valentine's Day," everyone! Isn't February wonderful? Because of leap year, we get a whole extra day in 2016, along with so many terrific holidays. Did you know? "National Tooth Fairy Day" is in February. And "National Hoodie-Hoo Day" (I'm not kidding). And, yes, it's also Black History month (though Morgan Freeman doesn't want that). Here on the Cheerful Earfull, February is Jazz Babe Appreciation Month! And why not? Whose going to stop me? Who would want to?

Remember when smoking was crazy-sexy-cool? Forever, it seems, if you were a "bad girl" or a "tough guy," you had to light up. But that's all over now (though, yes, there's still a few dumb tricks who think it's a hot look) (I'm one to talk, I used to smoke for years) (and I started so young).
