It’s Valentine’s Day weekend and for those of us who are single, it’s time to hunker down and stay put. In fact, I’ll use Omicron as an excuse to keep out of circulation.
I have a number of single friends with whom I commiserate. We’re of the mindset that finding a mate in Palm Springs is as elusive at finding an affordable apartment. But hope springs eternal, and I’ll keep putting myself out there. Just not this weekend…
So NBC scored with the rights to the Winter Olympics and The Super Bowl. For many of us, that means watching figure skating and the halftime show! (And the commercials…)
There’s still plenty to see and do locally this weekend. It’s a good time to purchase Modernism Week tickets. See our blog on affordable things to do here. And I’ll see you next week after the candy hearts and flowers have expired.

At this moment, some 2,500 students in the Palm Springs Unified School District are classified as “homeless”… living in a car or motel, crowded in with other families or literally on the streets. Aside from the issues brought about by the lack of a permanent roof over their head, a great many of them — a huge number — need shoes.
