Have a Happy Easter. (You know, if you are into that kind of thing.)

So today is the day that commemorates the day thousands of years ago when somebody stole a body and everybody blamed God.

Now on such an auspicious day you might expect me to piss all over the holiday and start reciting facts and figure to disprove the story, or compare it to other religious resurrections stories, but I'm not going to.

Actually I have always quite liked Easter.

I like dying eggs, I like organizing Easter egg hunts, and I like chocolate bunnies.

Much like Christmas, once you remove all of the religious parts it is a pretty nice little holiday. (And of course much like Christmas, the best parts were stolen from the pagans.)

When I was a boy we always spent Easter at my grandmother's and she always had a nice ham, and treats for the kids. Plus, as an added benefit, since it was Easter everybody tried not to yell at us too much.

And earlier that morning my mother would have hidden our baskets and left clues written as a poem on little pieces of paper to guide us to their locations. (We used to love that!)

It was always a nice day to spend with the family, and I have nothing but great memories.

Even if Mom DID feel the need to dress us up like this.

Still worth it, got candy.
