+8 Mother's Day brings out the brunches, greeting cards and well-wishes in homes and restaurants across the city. Because nothing says "thanks for bringing me into this world and dealing with all my crap" like two minutes in the card aisle of CVS.…

+8 It's NASCAR weekend, with Kevin Harvick winning the big Toyota Owners 400 and Kyle Busch making news for his victory in the Denny Hamlin Short Track Showdown. Then there was that one creepy dude trying to get on Danica Patrick's lap.…

+4 The Executive Mansion marks its 200th birthday with a public party over the weekend, which includes a flash-mob dance to the Black Eyed Peas song "I Gotta Feeling." Let's just hope historians will burn all recorded copies of Gov. Bob McDonnell doing the "Harlem Shake."
