I’ve never been a fan of Al Sharpton, but who knew the man had such a sense of humor? This had me laughing out loud:
And too bad Scott’s busy this week. A Libertarian economist’s POV on why FOX’s Megan McArdle is wrong on why brick-and-mortar universities will go away:

My wife and I danced to Falling in Love At a Coffee Shop for our first dance.
When we were thinking about songs for our first dance we heard that song on a commercial and both liked it. So I Googled some of the lyrics to figure out the name of it and told her the title without realizing how perfectly it worked for us (she worked at the coffee shop where I always studied for the bar exam). She just sort of stared at me until I realized what the title was. Sadly, the coffee shop closed about 2 years after we met. But at least we have the song and some great memories from undoubtedly the best summer of my life.

ashot, that may be the most perfect Valentine’s story of the day! That’s a lovely song with gorgeous lyrics (“i have fallen quite hardly for you” fit perfectly) and the video is great. You’ll always have Paris! 🙂

My contribution to favorite romantic songs: Baby Come to Me by Patti Austin and James Ingram. Michi, it fits right in with liking Al Jarreau, which I share with you.
