Easter

Red Sox Easter egg

Of course somebody made one.

Dirty Water, meanwhile, compiles a list of bars that will be open for tomorrow's season opener. Of course, this being Massachusetts and all, they won't be able to serve alcohol until two hours into the game (first call is legally 8 a.m.).

And look, ye geeks: Sox news via Twitter.

The Grinch who stole Easter

Seems Stoughton's first Easter-egg hunt and visit from the Easter Bunny didn't go too well. Lynne reports:

... The Easter Bunny arrived by Stoughton fire truck and the crowd formed a line to see the Bunny in the gazebo. But you know there are always a few fools in the crowd. Some people have no manners and do not know how to act. People started pushing their way to the front of the line. One big jackass bully, with his two big bully kids, tried to cut in the line in front of me. I told him to get in line like everyone else and be mindful of the small kids standing in line. (I didn't use those exact words.) He left the spot I was standing and tried to get onto the gazebo at a different angle but was turned away by one of the workers. ...

Red sky at night, sailor's delight; red road at dawn, what a mess

Not a bloody mess, but red nonetheless.

Sandouri Dean Bey can't help but thinking of an old Greek Orthodox story on why Greeks dye Easter eggs red, involving Mary Magdalene carrying a basket of eggs, which she said would turn red if Jesus had risen, and, of course, they did.

... Verily I say unto you, if Christ is risen, this road shall turn red.

And they're off!

Run, like the wind!

They held the annual Easter Egg hunt in Adams Park in Roslindale this morning. A woman standing next to me was there for the first time. She had a hard time believing me when I told her all the eggs would be gone within two minutes. I think it was maybe 90 seconds this time.

Fortunately, after the main hunt, this guy always wanders around the park with a box full of even more eggs, tossing them around for kids who came late - or just didn't get enough.

More eggs!
