for mothers day i launched a pre-emptive ad-hominem on your behalf.  i really love you, ma.  i just can't have anybody trash talking your saintly status in the chirch-uv-duh-virus.  it's simply too important to me.  and we do know these things happen.  cost-benefit as pa always said, remember?  you do remember pa, don't you?  ma? . . . . . . . .

love always,
