G gets out early from school today because of Good Friday. So being the devout Catholics that we are, to commemorate this holy occasion, we're going to engage in the pagan ritual of coloring Easter eggs.  I guess Mrs. Fly must have great memories of coloring Easter eggs when she was a kid because we seem to do it every year.  I remember coloring eggs a few times when I was younger, but I always thought it was kind of lame because the colors all started bleeding on the egg.  And there were always a few arian eggs that either refused to accept color or did it begrudgingly.

Remember that lame tray that you pop out of the cardboard packaging, that you put all the finished colored eggs on?  And when you take a step back to admire your handiwork, you then realize the eggs look like they were made from some Jerry's kid convention and you just wasted an hour of your day?  And to top it all off, you're stuck with like a dozen boiled eggs you have to eat afterwards.  Where's Cool Hand Luke when you need him?

I think G enjoys it, so I guess that's all that matters.  It'll be a little more interesting this year because D will be in the mix.  Pretty sure we'll need at least 3x the number of paper towels as last year.  [later that day]  Mrs. Fly invited a few of the neighborhood kids over for the egg coloring, so it looks like we won't have any leftovers!  It sure kicks ass being married to the most popular mom in the neighborhood.

We're coloring the eggs on a Friday because we're driving to Philly to spend the weekend with some friends of ours. They are moving overseas for a number of years. It'll be sad to see them go, but apparently it's a great opportunity for him to advance in his company. So after I say a few weeks back that I've never been to a country club for anything other than weddings, we're invited to yet another country club for some Easter event. They supposedly put on quite a spread. I'm so happy I decided to take my food mulligan! Full trip report when I get back.

I have a long-overdue "What's For Dinner?," but I'll save that for when I get back.
