The Jewish Mother of a Gentile Son

This is my mother, today, one day after her 79th Birthday. I drove down to Phoenix to deliver the gift she’s holding up, which is a mini-portfolio of original pencil drawings of mine, all done over the past year. My conservative valuation of this invaluable collection is $1,000.00. If you want a second opinion, feel free to ask Mom. [smiles]

I took her to The Good Egg for brunch and Harkins Theatres, where we saw AMERICAN HUSTLE, after.

She’s been officially Jewish for about 30 years now, joining her second husband, Marty, in creed as well as in souls. How many of my mom does it take to change a light bulb? None. “Never mind me–I’ll be fine in the dark…” [smile of a loving son]
