Oh yeah, Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers out there in the dark.

Maybe I'll add that to the notes.

Good morning, all! And Happy Mother's Day!

My mother was a difficult lady. This is her high school graduation photo.

She wasn't happy. Her family was dirt poor and her options when she graduated from Middletown High school in 1942 were few. She wanted art school but ended up clerking at Grants' Department Store. She married for the wrong reasons, and my father, brothers, and I suffered from her resentments, crushed dreams, and depression. If she were a character in a play, she would be Sally Durant Plummer in Follies.

Unlike my father, her love was conditional. I loved her, but I can honestly say I do not miss her. I do hope she is at peace.

On a happier note, on this day in 2019, the Saturday before Mother's Day on May 12, I attended a New York City Animal Care Center adoption at a now gone pet supplies store on Amsterdam Avenue. I went looking for a small dog, and in retrospect, it's good the only one there was too large for my apartment since I could no longer walk it after June 2020. What I found there was a 3-month old tuxedo kitten. I named her Stella.

This morning around 11:00, Bob Kosovsky, my friend from the Music Division of the NY Library for the Performing Arts, is coming to visit. He's one of my favorite people, and I haven't seen him since 2019, so I'm looking forward to our visit.

I have much to accomplish before he arrives.

Have a great visit, DR elmore3003. I've never met Bob in person, but he's a FB friend and a former work colleague of my friend (now retired) Charles Eubanks at Lincoln Center.

Happy Mother's Day.

There are only two words that can go after "mother."

One is "Superior."

The other... isn't.

It's a stretch, but there's also Diana in A CHORUS LINE singing "Mother fat, always in the kitchen cooking all the time."

But "Mother fat" never really caught on, for some reason.
