There are different types of love and I think many if not all of the people who used “love” in the xmas posts meant it. Bah humbug to you, sir. And I love you even if you just like me!

There is romantic love.  There is love for family.  There is intense Platonic love of the Holmes/Watson variety.  There is the often counterfeit Judeo-Christian brotherly love of all mankind that I’ve never really seen evidence of outside of a soup kitchen on photo-op day.  But “love” is not what you call it when you really dig somebody and think they’re cool and wish them well.  That is fondness.  That is something different.

I am fond of you.

I love about 4 people, and it’s a pretty tough club to get into.
