Hey Momma

Time is a tyrant today, but I would be remiss if I didn't take a moment to wish all the moms who read this(and even those who don't) a happy Mother's Day. If you haven't taken the time to order the requisite flowers or made reservations at an over priced brunch, you still have about 36 hours to get your act together.

I not only have to send some thoughtfulness my mom's way, I also have to remember "Wife" on mother's Day. I tried to use the argument, "you're not my mother", but that didn't fly. I'm always in a quandary when it comes to Mother' Day gift giving. My mom needs nothing, and will usually leave anything i give her sitting under the dining room table for a year and a half. She always says "I don't want anything." All men know that this is a trap. I'm not falling for that again. "Wife" told me a while ago that she wanted to go to the Sox game for Mother's day. No problem. I get a day in the sun and she gets to spend the day with her two favorite people enjoying the national pass time. Win, win.

Happy Mother's Day to all you mom's and to the women who acted like moms too. Your hard work and dedication may not always be recognized, but they are always appreciated.

I've gotta run. I'm making my first promotional appearance for WGN.. I'll be at Lottie's at 1942 W. Cortland in Chicago tonight as part of the WGN, Old Style, Cubs Guest Commentator Contest. Come on by and try your luck, say hi and down a cold Old Style. While I'm plugging WGN, don't forget the big show tomorrow night/ Sunday morning from 1-5 am. At 2, we're playing a very special Mother's day trivia game. What fun! Have a great weekend. Later....Brian
