Happy belated Mother's Day!

(Ed. note: Riley was playing the Wii.)

I was wondering what to write about Linda on Mother's Day, and I figured the best tribute would be to just deliver in the only manner I know how. So this is two days late.

Linda asked me not to post a picture of her, so, figuring it was Mother's Day after all, I complied. But let me just say to all who ask how she's doing (which is everybody): She looks great. I don't know for sure, I suppose, if she feels great; but if she doesn't, she sure is doing a nice psych job on me and everyone else. Her calm and ease in dealing with the whole transition is actually kind of intimidating to me. That's why I'm currently in my second week of hiding out at work.

Linda's starting to get out and about more now. Hopefully, the fact that I realize how easy it is to take her for granted will prevent me from taking her for granted. Hopefully, anyway.
