Morning Pops and Happy Easter to those that celebrate it and if not, A happy Funday Sunday to you. In either case, I hope you boiled and colored your eggs, got really drunk and hid them to awaken this morning and search for them. I completed the first and second parts of that but forgot to hide my eggs so my search was a short one when I found them in the refrigerator. It's OK. since I am retired, I was planning on hiding them all together anyway. One stop egg searching.

I get the origin of Santa and I can even buy the Tooth Fairy but a rabbit that enters your home illegally just to hide your hard boiled eggs and doesn't take anything is just not plausible. And why a rabbit, why not the Easter Chicken, come to rescue her unborn children? Wouldn't explain not just taking them instead of hiding them but does an animal invented for a day that has nothing to do with it really need an explanation? I think the Easter Salamander would have been much cooler. At first, I thought of the Easter Gila Monster but this is about kids so Salamander it is.

I will miss the annual frenzy at the Walmart in OK where I used to work. Tomorrow will be the day that can only be rivaled by TWINKIES ARE BACK DAY!!!! Peeps will be reduced by 50% and carnage will follow. They will have baskets loaded with all of the leftover Peeps (try to control your gag reflex) and they will be gone by 9am. I witnessed this phenomenon as I did TWINKIE DAY and my opinion of the human race has never been lower. Large people in a junk food frenzy isn't a pretty sight and I can only imagine them after the sugar kicked in.

I do miss my sons at that great dressing up Easter age, man do kids get any cuter than that? They will never look more innocent than that. And then Monday comes leaving parents to ask each other "are these the same kids in these photographs we took yesterday"? My older son misses my dramatic reading of "Green Eggs and Ham" which usually brought the crowd to it's feet in a stampede toward the exits.

Have a great day and if you are with family, as Leon is, it is indeed a most special day. Love and laughter be yours.

Fertility and rebirth. That's what the Easter bunny and the eggs represent. The connection to Christianity is odd, but hey, I think all that stuff is odd.

Good morning Pops and Happy Easter Sunday to one and All.

Enjoy today, your families, hopefully a beautiful meal and let us not forget why we celebrate Easter.

For us, it will be a quiet Easter... I am preparing a rack-of-lamb with all the trimmings... Aside from more unpacking and arranging, today screams for a hike in the mountains.

Let's just hope there's no screaming in the mountains. Bring your bear spray!

Hike? Know what grizzly bears eat on Easter? I do. Lamb stuffed ColoCowboy.

Bear spray and air horn firmly attached to my backpack.

Morning Pops and everyone.

It’s officially Tuesday morning where I am, and I’m still awake. Gotta love this “over the hill” thing. Really messes with every cycle you spent your entire life developing.

My blind draw team I bought for $2 in the office Sweet 16 won (a Texas team can win!) so tomorrow I pocket $28 for my efforts (I actually bought two teams but ‘Bama...), ...anyway. Gas money for the car I suppose. If I were nice and liked my job I’d order food for my cell mates, but lately I’m not so fond of their less than helpful demeanor so screw ‘em. I’m done offering to be helpful to them. I’m in a tight spot and can’t get any assistance from anyone. Nobody says thank you and they’ve come to just expect me to do certain things around there. My doormat days are done at work. And to think my boss says I have a bad attitude. I don’t think so. I adjusted it and I think my attitude is just right. I’m seeing very clearly. A new home, a new car and a new attitude all within a year. I’m on a roll!

i hope all you wonderful folks here have a great Tuesday. Heck, even if you’re not wonderful, I hope you have a great Tuesday too.

Be well, be safe, be you.

Morning Pops and pen pals. I'm not sure how I feel this morning. I'm not upset, but not happy like normal either. Maybe it's because our daughter and her family are going home to California tomorrow. Anyway, I hope you all have a good day.

Morning Pops and fellow Pops Posters.

Jan gets a new car after getting a new house and goes all Johnny Paycheck at work. I like it !!!

Leon, cheer up duuuuudddde, ya got another full day with your daughter and her family, make that the best day. I know how you feel though, it's like that day before you have to come home from a vacation.

Lemme tell ya a little trick my smart wife pulled on me and maybe you can make that work for you today. She figured out the Sunday returning from a vacation was a bummer for me so she always arranged a Monday return. I got to see all the other people leaving and not leaving myself and had a Monday off to boot. That day became a very special day because she arranged it for me to arrange that in my head.

She taught me to trick myself by setting up these arrangements to change my thinking and thereby, change my attitude. I was usually in need of an attitude adjustment because I have never been the happy person like you are normally. I have to force enough of it to make it feel natural. But that works most of the time so her lesson had a lasting effect.

Those of you recognizing Taco Tuesday have a good one. I know, you'd think any day that has the bonus of alliteration would be right down my alley but I don't like people telling me what to eat. Don't do turkey on Thanksgiving or ham on Easter. I do barbecue on Memorial day, 4th of July and Labor Day but actually think that's my idea. I do, however, recognize Thirsty Thursday because a little cooperation can be a good thing.

Make this a great Tuesday, especially you Leon, love harder today so it hurts more tomorrow for it is not sorrow, just a little bit of sadness. And you will happy it away.

Afternoon Pops and Popsadoodles! I got great news from my doctor's office today. My appointment isn't until the 13th. I had a nurse show me how to use my blood sugar monitor (so that's where the blood was supposed to go).. She even set up the time and date for me. I don't believe it deserves to know the time or date, but who's to argue with someone punching buttons on my behalf. My blood sugar was actually quite low, so I made an immediate trip to the store for those blood sugar raising vitamins..

Speaking of forbidden fruit, my secret stash of those vitamins come wrapped in colored foil with wise sayings on them. Last week has a few mundane ones, but I saved one to share with y'all.

Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.

I used to tell my wife it'd be okay in the end, but she always said no.
