Hey, January 22nd is my birthday!
Happy Birthday UYW! I wish you all the best. Enjoy your day!
My mom is an old-time Catholic and I was born just before Vatican II took effect. Choice is a word not in her vocabulary. Like many other things about my life, I'm more sad than grateful when I think of it. But, yea, mom was a trooper bringing us up, so I'm grateful for her toughness and resolve.
BTW, we already have a holiday more comprehesive and less politically charged -- it's called Mother's Day!
