Mother's Day: That's Today

It's Mother's Day. As I've noted before:

• "Lemming Tracks: Good Grief, [Day After] Tomorrow's Mother's Day! "
  (May 7, 2010)
• "Mother's Day, Mothering Sunday, Goes 'Way Back"
  (May 8, 2009)

And, "In 1860, writer J.M. Barrie, the creator of Peter Pan, was born in Kirriemuir, Scotland." (There's more, mostly the usual bad news, in "Today in History," The Associated Press (May 9, 2010))
