Holy Saturday stuff

Happy Easter to me: My boss gave me next week off, as I requested, and I didn't even have to beg for it/mention that my therapist had suggested I take a week off.

Just finished packing Easter baskets and I discovered that I'd left a small bag of Cadbury chocolate Mini-Eggs in a basket from last year. Oops!

Also, I just put in motion a prank Easter present: my dad has been acting goofy lately, saying he want to see ducks swimming in the brook behind our house, so... I got some rubber ducks and put them in the tub in our upstairs bathroom, which he uses the most. Can't wait to see how he reacts to the little critters in the tub.

And I finished reading "Dead Beat" and have started reading "White Night". Busy day all around!

"Happy Easter, Holy Trinity Church, we're shutting you down."

That, in a nutshell, was the sermon for the day, since the priest, no less than O'Regan the rat, found it necessary to read the letter of suppression that O'Malley the mook who seems to think he's our bishop, sent earlier this week. I may not be the most socially adept person, but even I know that it's extremely bad form to do something like this. It's tantamount to stomping on a child's Easter basket.

I am angry unto death... I don't blame people who are skeptical of organized religion, because right now, as far as I can see it, the local branch of the organization has failed the people it was supposed to help. We've got something beautiful here and these mooks just want to destroy it. They're supposed to be helping us along the road to heaven, not run us off in the ditch and make us wish we had someone else for a guide who wouldn't get hidebound about the rules and regulations. For God's sake, they're acting just like the friggin' Pharisees that Jesus Christ Himself ranted against.
