The News: Saturday, March 2 Edition

All of a sudden today it occurs to me that my mother and one of my nephews both have a birthday coming up really quickly here, and I have nothing even remotely resembling a plan for either of them. Mom is just plain impossible to buy for, because she doesn’t want anything and everything she needs requires me to have a considerably larger income than I do. My nephew is just a puzzle, because his mom is the one sister I have who has drifted away from the family. Usually for the kids I get them books, because they all read like fiends. But the books I gave him for Christmas went over like a lead balloon, so I’m guessing either he doesn’t read any more or he’s nothing like I would expect an 11-year-old kid to be. I guess there’s always socks.
