MOTHER’S DAY THOUGHTS from Ann Althouse and — in a very different vein — Jules Crittenden.

And, of course, on Mother’s Day your thoughts may turn to . . . James Lileks!

You can hear James and Cathy Seipp talking about parenting in this podcast from last summer. Cathy — who was, I believe, a fine mother — is no longer with us. Be nice to your mom today.

More on Mother’s Day here. And, from NPR, a look at the origins of Mother’s Day. Plus, some related thoughts here.
