Here's a matter that knows no party or region or class: flowers, which I must remember to teach my son are not always such a thoughtful gift. One of my dearest friends celebrated a big, big birthday last week. And what did her husband do to mark the milestone? "He went to the Kroger's for flowers,'' she said, rocked by the care and consideration that went into his offering. So to the three men reading this, don't let this be you. Flowers for no reason? Such a sure thing that if she doesn't like them, you should worry. But flowers under pressure say you are so clueless or checked-out that you might as well sign the note, "I'm either passive-aggressive, or have absolutely no imagination.'' The bigger the occasion, the better that "World's Best Mom'' mug would have gone over in comparison;as my friend said of her fool for romance, "He is beyond hope.'' (And Liza, since you wrote the book on Barack's better half, do we know what he wound up getting Michelle for their anniversary? Please do not tell me it was mums ...)
