Feb. 14 should be circled with a bright red heart on every calendar. Another Valentine's Day will soon be upon us, so, to get the mood of love flowing, I'd like to extend a formal invitation to take a trip back in time to uncover Cupid's Origins. Then just sit back, relax and start planning how to make your holiday extra special this year. Below I've listed my extended top ten picks for 1998. There are sites featuring some helpful tools to get even the most cynic romantic's mind soaring. You'll find charming graphics, music, books, poetry, advice, suggestions, gift ideas and lots more. Enjoy!
