A Mother's Day Eve tradition at Walgreens

Please don't show this post to my wife or my mom! I had a deja vu moment a few moments ago at Walgreen's near my home. It was just after midnight and I was coming home after spending the evening calculating election results for FOX 4 and myFOXdfw.com. I stopped at Walgreen's to get Mother's Day cards for my wife and my mom. I certainly wasn't the only one there at this late hour. There were at least 8 others trolling through the well-picked-over cards trying to find something that would work for the next morning.

And when I saw these people I realized that last year at the same time, I was in the same place under the same circumstances -- Walgreen's at midnight as Saturday turned into Mother's Day.

Before you think I'm a total heel, please know that my kids already have made their Mom's Day present, and that my sisters and I have already arranged for my mom's gift from us. I've just been a slacker with the cards.

Deja vu at Walgreen's - that's something you don't hear very often.
