Does your mother read this? (If so, I hope to goodness she's got your sense of humour.) Thanks for the chuckles.

She does. She just sent me an email:

"Very funny. But do I have to look like a little old lady??"

You haven't had a good visit with Mom until you've driven along the QEW for two hours, then up HIghway 10, and along Highway 9 to Palgrave (total 3 hours) on a Friday night during rush hour to hit the Source button on her remote control to change it to HDMI1.

I'm too far away for that kind of adventure. I have troubleshot her iPad using FaceTime though. That's an adventure.

Me: "It’s broken, fetch my tools!"

My Wife: "You mean your credit card and phone?"

So true. I feel seen.

We need to start a support group for men like us.

Your update on your mom was perfectly timed because my mom is visiting us this week. This means stocking up on her “special” foods: skim milk, Diet Coke, her favorite apples (something crispy I think), a lower strength coffee (we prefer espresso but not her!) —there’s something I’m missing but she sent me a list the first time she came for a visit (remember we recently moved to Ohio).

Cannot wait to see dear old mom!

A few laughs to get my day off to a good start. Thanks.
