Happy Mother's Day

I bought a nice bouquet of roses for my wife for Mother's Day. The Moose (age 10) decided to make a special card for his mom using one of the roses from the bouquet. This is the result:

Happy Mother's Day to those who are celebrating!

Happy Mother's Day

Yes, it's the extremely rare Sunday blog post. I just wanted to wish a Happy Mother's Day to all those are celebrating. To the moms out there, keep on rolling!



This video, a combined performance by REO Speedwagon and Imagine Dragons, has absolutely nothing to do with Mother's Day. I just think it's cool and wanted to share this.

By the way, I'm glad they performed a REO Speedwagon song. That turned out much better than if they performed Radioactive.

Mother's Day Message

On this Mother's Day, "Word to your moms. I came to drop bombs."

That's a compliment, right? Happy Mother's Day!

A Mother’s Day Birthday

Today is my birthday, so Happy Birthday to me! If you’re reading this on Sunday, Happy Mother’s Day too! Do you see what’s happening here? It’s my birthday, and I have to share today with every mom. Can’t I be a little selfish today and have my own day?

I was 4 the first time my birthday fell on Mother’s Day. To celebrate, I got chicken pox. Apparently, that ruined a big dinner and plans for the entire family. Maybe subconsciously, I didn’t want to share the attention.

I recently complained to a friend about this whole birthday-Mother’s Day thing. (I left out the previous paragraph and the whole chicken box thing.) She replied, “try having a Christmas birthday like me.” My complaining ended immediately.

Happy Mother’s Day everyone!

Birthday and Mother’s Day Surprise

On this day 28 years ago, I turned 4 (yes, you added correctly, I am 32 today), and got chickenpox while my birthday was on Mother’s Day. Apparently, the chickenpox ruined the birthday/Mother’s Day dinner. So for those of you celebrating birthdays or Mother’s Day today, I hope that chickenpox is not part of the festivities.

Wednesday Morning Notes

On the way to the San Francisco airport, we passed a Shell gas station charging $4.33 a gallon…for regular unleaded! Directly across the street was a Chevron station charging 70 cents less per gallon. According to the taxi driver, who was extremely passionate about the subject (some might say crazy or fanatical), the Shell station is believed to be the most expensive gas station in the country. Apparently, a San Francisco TV station questioned the station manager about the extraordinary prices. The manager explained that he was just breaking even because of the high cost of rent.

Unfortunately, Tiffany Catania got voted off Good Morning America’s Dancing With the Moms. I blame myself. When I first encouraged people to vote, Tiffany advanced to the next round. Since I was away last week, I didn’t solicit votes, and now we see what happened. Sorry Tiffany.

Finally, Mother’s Day is on Sunday, so don’t forget to send Mom a card. There is no mail on Sunday, so you may want to mail the card soon, like today!
