Happy Mother's Day!

I'm not so big on the icky, sappy sentiment associated with Mother's Day, an artificial construct that at least gives a one day boost to certain economic sectors (the greeting card, flowers and jewelry people, etc.). I'm really big, though, on mothers, and on being a mother. It's by turns confounding, challenging, exhilarating and rewarding. So to my mom (who had--has--five of us, God bless her) and to all you other moms out there a hearty Happy Mom's Day, and here's my favourite Mom song just 4 U:

    Yikes, that's not U2, it's Paul Simon. You have just revealed how young you are, LOL!

    I think my comment got lost, but I just wanted to correct you on this. It is not U2, but Paul Simon. This tells me how old you are, or rather how young you are, LOL!
