Mars, Meet Venus

Gestures of love are always at risk of getting seriously messed up in translation. Take, for instance, the answering-machine message. Good for setting up supper, but on Valentine’s Day?

The free class runs from 7 to 9 p.m. at Unity Church of Overland Park (10300 Antioch, 913-649-1750).
