HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! -- SPRING SPORTS QUIZ -- THURSDAY CARDINAL COUPLE

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY ! 

Yes, it is that day when cupid sends his arrow and stores make a fortune on candies, flowers and cards as lovers and such express their feelings. If you fit into the "lover" category, you know what you need to do and, hopefully, what your "loved one or ones" want. 

If you're still out there looking for love, the day is always a good one to show relatives, co-workers or neighbors that you are thinking positively of them. What's a box of candy, a flower or two or a good deed, kind gesture or thoughtful act set you back, anyway? 

My Valentine !!!

So, show a little love in your heart today. Perform a random act of kindness. Try a little tenderness, maybe. I don't normally get into the commercialized, created "special days" but, hey...it never hurts to let someone know you care. I love ya, Cardinal Couple readers. I look forward to a good day with my love, Sonya. Special birthday wishes and Happy Valentine's Day to my "adopted" sis Christy. 

I hope your day goes well, too...readers and friends.

Expression of love and care certainly need to be daily expressions and emotions. 

A little bit of love goes a long way. It takes so little effort and can have such a big effect just to tell someone you love them or are thinking of them. Try it. It won't hurt one bit.

The old song goes, "What the world needs now, is love...sweet love..." and it's so very true. There is too much anger and hate. Don't participate in it. 

If none of the above applies to you, here's a link to an interesting song the J.Geils Band put out way back in 1980 that could be your anthem today.

PAULIE'S SPRING SPORTS QUIZ

Thursday's a day where we'd normally be breaking down and analyzing Louisville women's basketball's next foe. Since the WBB squad is on a "bye" week and off tonight, I thought I'd help you, the reader, get caught up on the emerging women's Springs Sports at UofL.

We usually do "quizzes" on the radio show in the summer. I want summer weather. I''m doing a quiz here to beckon the weather that normally accompanies the Cardinal Couple Quiz. (Is that wrong?) 

These sports are underway and, hopefully, today's quiz will give you a little more info on the action and maybe, test your knowledge. Answers at the bottom of today's column and let me know in the comments section how you did. No prizes, awards or such for your score, just the satisfaction of knowing what you know, realization of what you need to know.

I normally admonish you not to cheat by "googling" or going to internet sources for answers...but...do whatever you want. I'm  tired of monitoring you all, truth be told...you're such an unruly and disruptive bunch and I've sent notes home to all of your parents! 

If you read Cardinal Couple regularly, we've covered the correct answers here over the last month. I even tossed in a WBB question or two, so you'll at least get a couple right, maybe

Here's how Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson did on it, Check out the clip below:
