Easter

The Germans are to blame for the Easter bunny.  If you are even looking for someone to blame.  "Originally an 'Easter hare,' a buck-toothed bringer of chocolate to the kids that have behaved themselves was first mentioned in German literature in 1682." (story)    All in all, any tradition that ends or begins with chocolate, I decree as a keeper.  Enjoy!  Celebrate foremost, what Easter (click here lovies) really means to humanity.

Ah, you know, these guys are just cute.  If it's a set-up or not, I don't know.  But I'm a sucker for some of these Got Talent, clips.  I still cry at  Susan Boyle, I Dreamed A Dream.    What?  You thought I had a heart of stone?  I don't!

WINNING AT LOVE

There is such a thing as stamp news, and it's usually rather benign!   As was the recently released USPS sky-blue stamp, featuring "an illustration of a plane skywriting the word love.”   Awww, all the heart eyes.   If only love stamps had the power to solve the world's problems?     story

CHILD'S PLAY

“ 'Tag' — perhaps the oldest childhood game around — has been banned at a California elementary school."   Gold Ridge Elementary staffers became concerned some kids were getting too rough.  I hope this is a temporary misunderstanding.  Oy vey.  Please, someone point me in the direction of a normal childhood.   news
