Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful women out there. My mother passed away in 2005 at the age of 93, and what I wouldn't give to hear her mispronounce "aluminum" just one more time.

As a pre-Mother's Day treat, I took my wife to the International House of Pancakes last night. Our giggly waitress was new on the job and got one aspect of her work out of sequence. Shortly after she took our orders, she came back and said, "How's everything so far?" We looked at the empty table and didn't quite know how to answer. Finally, I said, "This is a fine glass of water." I tipped her generously.

I always thought the idea of reading books on an electronic tablet was silly and impractical. Now, after seeing the Kindle in action and after downloading 130 classic books on my iPod touch for $2.99, I'm not so sure.

I've never understood what people see in Walmart.
