Happy Birthday, Ma.

Today, as I'm sure you've all forgotten, is your poor mother's birthday. She
is 58 years old, in case you're interested. If you find a spare minute in
your busy days and you wouldn't mind bringing a ray of sunshine into an old
woman's life, you might give her a call or send her an e-mail. After all
she's done for you, is that too much to ask? I'll leave the answer up to you
and your conscience.
