I hope everybody had a great Mother's Day. If you are single and childless and just marking time until you die alone, forgotten and unloved by your distant relatives, I hope you called your mother. If you are unfortunate enough to be cursed with children, I hope your significant other or somebody who cares about you was at least thoughtful enough to take your offspring to a local mall, and pretend to lose them so that you could enjoy your day. And the rest of 2010.
My mother was lucky enough to get to see me on both days this past weekend. On Saturday, we had a family event that involved me getting lost in the Trenton area. Which, if you've ever been there, you know is not very nice. To put it mildly. At one point, I saw numerous cop cars in the parking lot of a KFC as about twenty policemen arrested some guy who was handcuffed and leaning against a police car. It seemed like overkill to me to have that many cops present to arrest one guy, but Journey's Don't Stop Believin' had just come on the radio and that piano intro is just so inspiring. So I kept on driving.
On Sunday, I bought my mother a very expensive bouquet at an extremely fancy florist shop in Williamsburg. I told the woman who was helping me to put something together for about $15 to $20, and she created a lovely bouquet of pink roses and some other things. She assured me that my mother would love it.
She won't be sorry she had me, I said.
The woman looked me up and down.
I wouldn't bet on that, she replied.

The latest edition of How to Do Nothing without Really Trying is now up. You can listen to it either here or at Self Absorbed and subscribe in iTunes. As always, we appreciate your support. And please help to spread the word. And write a review and rate us in iTunes, if you'd be so kind.
Actually, today's installment of the podcast isn't showing up in iTunes just yet, and I'm hoping it's simply a question it being late to update. With any luck, the current show will appear tonight when I get home.
Otherwise, I'll probably have to roofie myself just so I can get to sleep tonight.
