I hear ya, Sheryl. I can't be bothered with the Hallmark holidays, from
Valentines to Secretaries day. Hey, I hardly ever even observe my own
birthday. Maybe it's just me, but I don't like anything that makes me feel
obligated to run to the store to get a card and mail it in time for the day.

Think of your mother whenever, give her a call, whatever, on any given
day. No need for a one special day that apparently upsets some people.
