A Truly Religious Holiday
For Christians, today is the holy day of Easter. I wish you all a happy one. And I failed the Jewish side of my ancestry by failing to mark Passover again this year. Ooops.But for some of us, today marks a truly religious holiday: the first day of the baseball season. While tomorrow is opening day for most teams, the season starts tonight with the Yankees (Boo!) playing the Red Sox.
I am a believer in the words of Susan Sarandon from the movie Bull Durham that "The only church that truly feeds the soul, day in, day out, is the Church of Baseball." So today is a holiday for me, and I'll be celebrating with the traditional sacrament: beer. Cheers!

And please don't harangue me about the scandals in my church. At least we're not Catholic priests.

Don't Look Now
But the President admitted that he really is "Black": from the online NY Times, he revealed it.
Really big news, isn't it?

Nature's April Fool's
OK, it's not exactly a joke, but Ma Nature decided to give us a few more inches of snow to begin April. Given that we've had over ten feet of the white stuff this winter, this does seem to be a rather cruel joke, even if April snow is not unusual here. I'm ready for winter to be over, thank you very much.
