Had a good day with the Mom’s.  Took her to a fancy lunch and then saw “Baby Mama” with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
It was an ok movie.  Quite funny in places.  I would suggest others see it as a rental though.
Happy Mother’s Day!

I submitted some writing samples to a guy who knows his stuff about that kind of stuff. We both thought it would be good to read authors that I tend to write like. Not to copy them but to learn from them.
Enter David Sedaris’ books. I have read two of his other [...]
