Tomorrow is Mother’s Day. A very special day. Mothers are the best.

On May 9, 1914, Woodrow Wilson proclaimed the first Mother’s Day holiday.

I miss my Mother. Desperately. She died early in life. Around 75. A diabetic who did not take care of herself.

In my adult professional years, she became my best friend. I would stop on my way home from work several times a week. She would be waiting for me seated at the kitchen table. A bottle of Beefeaters on the table with a bucket of ice. For me alone. She did not drink. We would talk about everything.

She was a wise person. In everyday things. Her education was limited. She was born in Italy and only went to the third grade. Went to work full time thereafter.

Her wisest bit of advice was not to marry my wife. I should have listened. My Mother was correct in everything she told me. The two got along well during our marriage. Each treated the other with the utmost respect. Again my Mother’s advice re my wife were words of wisdom.

Both of my parents were good people. I was lucky.

Mark Twain: “Golf is a good walk spoiled.”

Delta is cutting snacks and drinks on short flights.

It was on this day in 1969 that the FDA approved “the pill.” The first commercially produced birth-control pill.

On this day in 1964, the Beatles stronghold on U.S. pop charts ended. Louis Armstrong took over #1 with “Hello Dolly.”

Hunter S. Thompson: “When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.”

City-states that compromised ancient Greece numbered in excess of 1,000.

Ancient Greeks ate bread for breakfast big time. One problem, however. Sand got in the wheat and caused widespread dental problems.

Pyramids took many blocks to construct. Some took in excess of 2 million.

Russia and Ukraine have agreed to a truce and prisoner exchange. I am not sure this means the end to the war.

Kash Patel gives to some FBI members and civilians he encounters in his everyday duties bottles of bourbon from his personal stash.

Iran is no match for the U.S. Why then has Washington not defeated Iran?

Grocery prices continue to rise. I spend more each week at Publix and receive less for my dollars.

Trump does not administer his power equally among the States. He fails to provide blue states with fire prevention monies.

The Trump/Leo conflict.

Vance told Pope Leo that he did not understand theology. Apparently Vance thought he did. Strange because he only converted to Catholicism 8 years earlier. Whereas, Leo wrote his thesis on the issue and has spent his adult life as a priest.

Trump got involved with Leo. Trump dislikes Leo because the Pope calls them as he sees them. Trump initiating a war with no basis for conflict, killed hundreds of children, caused much property damage, etc.

Trump does not like hearing the truth about himself, especially from a man of God.

Rubio has replaced Vance in attempts to resolve the conflict. Rubio and the Pope met Thursday. Rubio a lifetime Catholic and carries his rosary beads in his pocket everyday.

The outcome of the meeting not yet revealed.

Enjoy your day!
