For Mother's Day, 2003, I am putting away my computer and my cell phone. The only outgoing calls I intend to make are to wish my own mother and Paulette's mother a happy day. Other than that, I'm spending the day on my family.

I'd planned to post here about how Alexander called 911 the other day, but that will have to wait until sometime this coming week. Oh, and then there's this e-mail making the rounds that I want to respond to, about how life was so much better in the good old days. Of course, there's also continuing the discussion on "Free Speech for Whom?" I'll get to it all. Really!

But for now, I'm going to put away the toys and tools and spend a quality day with Alexander and Paulette. I hope that all of you reading this who either *are* or *have* a mother enjoy Mother's Day this year.
