Happy Mothers' Day

That's right, I put the apostrophe where I think it belongs. It's a day for all mothers, is it not? Therefore, plural possessive. Hmph. Plus which: my blog, my conventions in punctuation, grammar, spelling, you name it. Don't like it? Start your own blog!!

I'm reading this article over on the ABC news site, by Scott Haltzman, the author of a book about creating and sustaining a successful marriage (here are some tips, by the way), and I come across this little scientific fact:

The male brain is 10% larger in mass than the female brain. Much of that larger mass is white matter — the stuff that surrounds the nerve cells. In contrast to men, women have a higher percentage of gray matter — the actual source of brain activity.

Really, my work here is done. Happy Mothers' Day, ladies!!
