Easter Re-runs

   A thought or two today about Easter Re-runs.
  I'd expect you to think in terms of television when I use that term.
  "The Ten Commandments" is always pulled out of the film vault
  for Easter evening.
   But the 'vault' I'm thinking about is the refrigerator. And the
  'Re-runs' involve all the left overs from that big Easter dinner
  that seem to begin calling out to us some six to seven hours
  (for many it's far sooner) after the meal has ended.
   There seems to be some sort of subliminal attraction that is
  nearly impossible to resist. It's kind of like when I go to the
  movies. I've just got to have popcorn!
   Anyhow at Easter we eat our fill at the
  table only to have the thought and, somehow, the aroma of that
  'Black Oak Ham' lure us back for more time and time again.
   There's usually left over nut roll and pie too.
   Of course the path to the ham usually goes right past the table
 where all those chocolate eggs and bunnies and the like are
 sitting, waiting to be sampled. After all they're small and just
 one or two can't hurt.
   Well Easter is also the beginning of Spring so I guess we can
 be content with knowing we can  burn off all those extra
 pounds by going out for a good walk.
   The only thing is...I've got to get past the refrigerator to get to
 the  door!  Hope all of your NEWS is good!
