Mother’s Day is this weekend, which means some moms are anxiously scrambling to make sure their kids are as far away from them as possible for 12-48 hours, while others are using whatever emotional blackmail and passive aggressive tactics necessary to ensure their darlings are in their presence from dawn to dusk. I have friends who fall into both categories. There are those who want to lay in bed all day and binge watch something on Netflix and not have to cook or clean or do anything really.

Things are pretty chaotic right now. No one knows if we are about to be “liberated” from our foreign trade oppressors or about to pay $20 for an avocado or $150,000 for an Audi. We are told we are bringing manufacturing jobs back to America and at the same time, we are told robots will be taking those same type jobs in five to 10 years. Nothing adds up. Up is down.
