TODAY IS: Mother's Day, which was first observed in 1907 when Ana Jarvis of Philadelphia asked her church to hold a service in memory of all mothers on the anniversary of her own mother's death. Watch 1993's THE JOY LUCK CLUB, about the strained relationships between a group of Chinese-American women and their immigrant mothers, and afterward you'll want to call your mom and apologize for every thoughtless thing you ever said or did to her.
