Another 3 day weekend

OK, you Catholics out there know this is a big weekend. I live one of the biggest, mostly Catholic cities in the US (I think NY and Boston may be 1 & 2).
So, tomorrow, many of us are off. I am! :)
Consequently, my Friday night drinking is taking place tonite. My Catholic upbringing is making me feel guilty. Alas, I WILL behave tomorrow and make the Stations (google it).
Saturday the family is getting together at my mom's since many have plans Sunday. RedBeerd and I will go there and boil 80 lbs of crawfish and try to behave. Basically, tonite is a test run for Saturday. Practice makes perfect!

Happy Easter ya'll and Happy Passover to my Jewish friends!
After a small stout, I had to enjoy a very good RCE hoppy pale ale. Ohhh, it's about perfect right about now.

Happy Easter to you too Paul. I too have tomorrow off, but will not be able to do the Stations. Because of my work schedule today, I wasn't even able to go to Holy Thursday Mass this evening, which is one of the most meaningful Masses for me. And I miss that.

Enjoy your mud-bugs. We will be off to my wife's cousins on Easter to do our traditional family get together. And I'll bring some Pliny clones with me for a couple of us to enjoy.

Enjoy your weekend Paul...and cheers to you and your family!!!

Enjoy yourself (heck, that goes out to everybody).

I hope that you enjoy and celebrate your faith rather than suffer it like some people do (general statement here). I'm not a religious guy myself as I never could quite figure out what chocolate eggs had to do with Jesus. :p

You obviously missed the religion class where they mentioned Jesus loved chocolate.
I wonder why we call the day Jesus died, Good Friday. Why is it good? (I really do know the answer but many don't).

I'm Catholic, live in NY, and have never gotten Good Friday off. I'm glad it's not a Holy Day of Obligation, because I can't get to Church on that day. No meat.
