Today Easter falls on April Fool's day. I wonder how often that happens, and while i am curious, that's not what is important. Rather, how shall i celebrate this?

 

For my sermon today, i shall make stuff up from the book of St. Nick:

 

And Mary hurried back to the disciples to tell them that Jesus had risen.

And the disciples were like yeah right, of course. That's the oldest April Fool's joke in the book. This is like the time you served us those "loaves and fishes"? Or what about that wine? Peter almost choked on a Firkin...

And while they were heckling Mary, Jesus walked by in his bathrobe, and asked why they were up at 7am? It's the Sabbath, and the game doesn't start until noon. Let others sleep in as you yourself would like to be allowed to sleep in. Then all the disciples were greatly astonished, and quickly dove back under their covers, but not before swiping a bagel or two to nibble on.

 

All rise for hymn 123, "The Pitcher shall cover first"

 

And now we will pass the plate around... Encouraged contributions include:

 

Baseball thoughts (it is round and has stitches)

Twins thoughts (i mostly been distracted first two games... what all did i miss?)

Favorite celebrations of Easter or Passover. (all about the Peeps)

Favorite celebrations of April Fool's day.

Songs that get stuck in your head aka. ear worms ( i woke up running over the tail of Pachelbel's canon) with bonus points if you think it would make a good walk up song.

 

And here's to hoping the Twins collect at the plate as well as we do!

I just found out that April Fools Day has been officially cancelled this year, owing to it falling on the same day as Easter.

 

/ no it's not - APRIL FOOL!

No one ever tells me anything.

I'm just hoping that Chief doesn't decide to resurrect his usual puns pertaining to this holy day.

The Easter Bunny always remembers to leave some Peeps in my basket. Strangely, the Bunny neglects to do this for Mrs Ash. I offer to share, but she is a generous soul and says "finders keepers".

My sister and I share peeps memes and whatnots on FB ... so I'm all over the peeps ... and no, I don't like them, but I like making fun of them. :)

 

But I won this year with the most horrible use of Peeps ... maybe I'll post it later.

That Bucket O' Peeps looks delicious, prepared just the way I like 'em, but if it was really from the Colonel it would be covered in mashed potatoes and gravy and cheese and lord knows what else....

Brilliant Open. 

 

I believe it was also Jesus who left me a VM to call Mr. Lyon at (phone number). 

 

The Phone Number belonged to the Zoo.

I realize that I should have waited until later to post that. But I'm not worried. They'll keep. And we can save the leftovers for next year.

Um... No.

 

How do i know you're not Lyon?

Well, it’s important to warm up, especially for these early season, cold weather games.

 

You don’t want to pull a groan.

Berrios and Gausman were both drafted in 2012. Today is kind of an interesting challenge match. Much prefer Berrios to Gausman now and going forward.

 

Here’s a little bit of trivia...whenever the first day of the month is on Sunday, we get a Friday the 13th later in the month.

 

Will try to check in from the game, en route now.
