Well, finally it’s Spring… at least it’s supposed to be!

Today is Easter Saturday – a holiday that never seems to get as much press as Good Friday or Easter Monday for some reason. Personally, I like Easter Saturday. It’s that holiday for those of us who tilt more toward the Chocolate Jesus than the hammer and nails version; more toward the ‘mãs’ in Christmas (Spanish for ‘more’!), than the Christ in Xmas.

The day is nicely nestled between two religious events: the Friday when Christ was entombed after dying on a cross (NOT the beginning of the phrase TGIF!), and the Sunday when Jesus rolls away the rock blocking the entrance to his tomb, steps out into the sun, sees his shadow, goes back inside and we have three more weeks of winter!

Today is the Easter version of Festivus for the rest of us.

An apology is due here. I’m sorry. There, I said it. It’s been far too long between posts. “Busy” has been the operative word here for the last month or so, but now there appears to be a flickering light at the end of a fairly long tunnel. I will do my utmost in the near future to post between those flickers when the light is best.

I also have another trip to the Mediterranean coming up soon, but more on that later.

For now, some catching up. Herewith, chapter seven of Content: The Once and Future King. Tomorrow, chapter eight. Trust me.
