Admittedly,
I haven’t had an Easter break since grammar school. My spring-time vacations
since then usually carried more the image of hanging around a beach surrounded
by skimpy bikini-clad women.
THE
PROBLEM BEING if I tried to do that now, I’d probably have those ladies calling
the cops to report me as the lecherous type who’s paying too close of attention
to them.
So
I’ve decided to take a couple of days off – fresh commentary will return here
on Monday. Maybe I'll find myself a place that will serve me a drink or two with a little umbrella sticking out of it.
Perhaps
a couple of days of rest around the time of the holiest of holidays in
Christianity will do me some good. Although I think what will truly do me some
good is not having to think of our political geeks for a couple of days.
If
only we could all do that.
ANYWAY,
IF YOU are celebrating Easter, I say happy holiday. If you’re not, I hope you
still have a relaxing weekend.
And
if you’re the overly devout type to whom this weekend isn’t funny business, I
wish you well. Particularly if you’re one of those types who will partake in a
Good Friday service out in the Pilsen neighborhood where they’ll do a Stations
of the Cross service.

| Is this more your vision of Easter? |
You’ll
literally get to see Jesus Christ severely beaten, then strapped to the cross.
The
last time I saw one of those services, it literally turned my stomach, as the
parishioners portraying Roman soldiers did such a convincing job of
administering their torture that it was a wonder “Jesus” was able to walk home
at night in one piece, let alone enjoy the following Easter holiday.
