Easter Gratings

In case some of you missed it, yesterday was Easter. For some reason, I woke up in a lousy mood, and I've stayed in that lousy mood till now. And even till now. That's right. I'm still in a lousy mood, despite this most recent outpouring of sentences. For one thing, I don't think Christ is risen. I think He stayed in His tomb. And that means I can't arise from the dead, either, despite certain promises I was given as a child. I want to live forever, but solid scientific evidence suggests that Someone couldn't pull off a Miracle, and I'm pissed.

For another thing, there was an Easter brunch at Minette and Andy's house that was -- what? -- unsettling. Eight adults and two kids. Our kids. Having kids creates a huge gap between you and people who decide not to have kids. It's depressing. I'm too depressed to even provide a picture. Just imagine a picture of me in the upper right corner looking sad.

  5. My midwife told me that once we have our baby, I should just give up being friends with people who don't have kids.

    I have no friends WITH kids. So I guess in very short order, I will have no friends.

    Perhaps you and your wife and me and my husband could be friends. The miles between Washington State and North Carolina would be nothing to our common bond of having procreated.

    Or maybe I'll just ignore my midwife and do my best, like it seems you and Wendy are doing!

  7. I really think the "gap" you describe is created by the wierd tradition we have that does not allow little children to drink heavily.

  8. I always wondered how he unwrapped himself from his shroud. I'm glad you've cleared up that paradox for me.

  9. What about the bolder sealing off the cave. Seems to me if you just got nailed to a cross you would not be in shape to move a large bolder. Or was it a tomb? And I don't get why easter keeps moving around, it should be the same day every year. Like christmas.
