Only Jesus Enjoys Easter

Easter, the worst of holidays.

Thanksgiving? Turkey! Pie! Sports traditions entirely around Thanksgiving.

Christmas? Turkey! Pie! Presents! Sports traditions entirely around Christmas.

New Years? Party! Chip and dips! Sports traditions entirely around New Year's.

Halloween? Costumes! Candy! No sports, but who needs them on Halloween? So much fun!

July 4th? Grilling! Baseball. Flag humping!

Easter? Eh, everything's closed. Come over about two. We'll have ham.

Ham.

If they made a ham out of bacon, they'd be on to something. Otherwise, all you can really do is slap some pineapple on there and hope people just move along to the sweet potatoes.

The bunny stuff is fun, no question, and the egg hunt. But there aren't adults doing egg hunts for themselves, like people can still have Halloween parties for grown-ups.

Plus, Jesus has a holiday already. Maybe the biggest holiday, at least in the U.S. Does he need two? Selfish.

Plus, the traffic.

I went to Ann Arbor this weekend to see some U of M stuff with Eli 17.8, then drove back by myself yesterday (George care--they stayed overnight). An easy two-hour drive from Ann Arbor took three. Bumper to bumper traffic. Passed five accidents. Brutal.

One odd note about Ann Arbor: they have the best churros I've ever had. Seriously. Totally unexpected.

From Easter to churros. Not unexpected.
