Last year, I didn't heed Amber's request to aid her one-woman crusade to establish the U.K.'s Kissing Day here in the U.S. I felt bad about that all year. So, read her recently renamed site and spread the word, and the lip balm - Wednesday, July 6 is International Kissing Day II.

Amber requests we post a kissing quote in its honor - or in its honour, to borrow language from the Brits:

Forget for this moment the smog and the cars and the restaurant and the skating and remember only this. A kiss may not be the truth, but it is what we wish were true.

It's one of my personal favorites. Who can name its origin?
