Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day!  For those who celebrate this holiday, treat  the women in your life extra-special tomorrow, whether they are a mother yet or not.  I, on the other hand, have to be the luckiest man on the planet.  My wife does not practice what she calls 'greeting card' holidays.  While I am off the hook with her, I still have my own mother who also has a birthday around this time, so we celebrate the two events at once.  We try to make it a bit more special so she doesn't feel slighted by having a birthday combined with another holiday.  While having a birthday on or near another holiday makes it less likely to be forgotten, I've always felt that the birthday gets overshadowed by said holiday, like having your birthday around Christmas-time.  This year we have a plan for both!  We are ready. Are you!  You still have time to run to the grocery store for flowers and a card!  ~ Michael S. Pauley
