Reminder: Get away from your keyboard and call your mother. Today is Mothers Day

Was planning on working all day today. I lost track of what day it was. Instead I'm going to call my mother and make dinner for my wife.

It is not Mother's Day in all countries of the English-speaking world, but it is Mother's Day in both countries (one English-speaking, one not) where I have lived for extended periods. A family dinner is cooking as I type this. My mother and my wife are invited to eat the dinner, without having to do any of the preparation. My young daughter is planning to make a special minimal-cooking treat for the two mothers with whom we celebrate today.

The Wikipedia article has information about the dates of Mother's Day in various countries.
