mother's day advice and some foreign sports

"You're not famous until my mother has heard of you." ~Jay Leno

In my particular situation that  applies to my grandmother. Which, I've always been unclear about why grandmothers are included in the whole "mother's" day thing. And all women, it's mostly a conspiracy but it's something I've learned to accept.

There's a complicated and simple way to explain why I read an article about the potential situation on the future of soccer after this morning's Manchester United and Sunderland "match" (I think they're called matches) but it's just easiest to summarize my findings and maybe give you something interesting to talk about this mother's day (or next week/whenever you want to "drop some J.Nelson" on someone) but basically: England's Premiere soccer league needs a salary cap. If you want to know more about the discussion, check out this article here. Supposedly, today's game may have a big part in how that plays out so if you're reading this article now, for mother's day advice, I can't help you just yet but if you're doing a brunch or lunch or some fancy faux date night with your mom next week and have a few seconds outside, discuss this interesting bit of information when you have a few minutes to compare European and American sports league habits with whoever.

Maybe some last minute drug store buys could help your mother's day situation, or perhaps a gift card found at a charming grocery store? Double out on those shopping points wherever you do your chain store bargain purchases. In other news, Pastor Maldonado won some race. And yes, the only reason I share is because I thought it was about some priest foot race. No, it's just a regular fella who drove a formula 1 car. Not a big deal, just something to talk about.

I don't actually have any (more) advice for what to do on mother's day. Call, visit, hug, or whatever, just don't get too weird.
