Easter has always confused me -

[kyburg]

We're to celebrate the occasion of the death of the greatest teacher known by the people he was sent to enlighten. In one of the most brutal fashions known to man.

Right. "Good" Friday, and "Happy" Easter. WTF?

To me, it makes no sense at all and never did. It's a solemn occasion, to be remembered and reflected on with some quiet meditation -

So. Today was a feast at Sis' house - it's a holiday, and that's what one does. You have to go along with it, I guess.

*weighs bag* Five pounds of assorted chocolate and candy to go to work with me tomorrow. Leftovers, man. Leftovers. I told you have a Nestle connections, right? ceolyn, the Baci are a go if you want them. No problem at all. They're even wrapped in your colors if I recall right - silver and dark blue.

Dinner was two joints of lamb - and I have the bones to turn into lamb stew this week.

And we took all the Japan swag with us to show family - Sis said it was like Christmas in April. I think we did well indeed.

Mom took home Jim's GameBoy. *chuckles*

Neither Jim or I have had more than four hours consecutive sleep in the last four days. He's crashed in the easy chair - me, I'm running on fumes.

People I love to read aren't posting right now and I'm bummed.

And I have traversed the 91 to Diamond Bar and back again - and I live another day!

And the two boxes of Peeps I got Jim and I remain untouched on the kitchen table. Sis' house was frightening. There wasn't a room in the house (and it's a very big house) that didn't have at least three candy dishes filled to the brim.

And my haul was after everyone else had gone home. I was the last sibling to leave.
