 GJ> holidays tend to spring upon me unexpectedly...

 ML> The flight attendant and I today had a good chuckle,
 ML> because neither of us was fully convinced that it was
 ML> Easter, until the gate agent came on the PA and announced
 ML> it. Happy Easter, by the way.
 
I wasn't sure whether it was this weekend or next; I asked Neekha
who said she didn't know either although it was likely this weekend
as there wasn't any school scheduled on Friday. I asked if it was
because of a "professional" day off or because it was Good Friday.
She responded, "I don't know; I'm not a Catholic and neither is my
teacher." "But he has to be, to teach at a Catholic school." " He
probably just said he was 'cause he wanted a job."

In any event Roslind knew as she has been planning the family Easter
dinner for ages. She's prepping for it now while I do taxes (April
30th deadline here). It will be later today at Ray's house and
features a roast pork, a half ham and a leg of lamb. That should be
more than enough for 18 people.

 ML> Just as being bisexual doubles your chance of getting a date,
 ML> being multi-religional increases the numbers of holidays
 ML> you get to celebrate.
 
If you are an English Canadian civil servant living in Ottawa but
working in Hull, Quebec or a French Canadian living in Hull but
working in Ottawa you get Saint Jean Baptist Day AND the Queen's
birthday as well as Canada Day. You claim one because of your
heritage and get the other because the office is closed. If you are
of Aboriginal decent you can try for June 21st, National Aboriginal
Day, as well.

 JW> 0.40% is supposed to be coma inducing!  (The lethal limit is 0.50%)

 ML> Both rules of thumb. There have to be exceptions.

 True, there is a range.

 ML> This guy's BAC was double the one that I enjoyed on a day I was
 ML> quite confident I was going to keel over and die ...

Anything over 0.20 and the lizard brain takes over.

 JW> Both of these theories of course fly in the face of Native beliefs
 JW> that they have been here since the beginning.

 ML> Not really: depends on how you define beginning, after all.
 ML> Did the world exist before me? Will it exist when I'm gone?

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
 
      Title: Denny's Bacon Caesar Burger
 Categories: Bacon, Groundmeat, Sandwiches
      Yield: 1 Servings
 
      1    Hamburger bun, toasted, and
           -buttered
      1 sl Romaine lettuce
      2 sl Tomato
      2 sl Dill pickles
      1 sl Red onion
      1    Hamburger patty
           S&P
      2 sl Monterey Jack cheese
      2 sl Bacon
    1/4 c  Caesar dressing, served on
           the side
 
  Just went there the other night, and knew immediately I had to
  share this one. I will give quantities for 1 Burger, and you can
  go from there.
  
  Cook hamburger patty and season with salt and pepper. Toast the
  bun separately, I always put a little butter on each side of the
  bun, and toast slightly in a skillet, or you can even do this in
  the oven using the broiler. Assemble like this.
  
  Starting from the bottom bun:
  Bottom bun
  slice of Romaine lettuce
  2 slices of tomatoes
  2 slices of pickle
  onion
  hamburger patty
  2 slices of Monterey Jack cheese
  2 slices of Bacon placed crossways
  Top Bun
  
  Dip your burger into the dressing. Man this is good, and actually
  made going to Denny's a real treat.
