Easter Sunday was great. I had a wonderful brunch with Dad, step-mom, and bro. A local Italian restaurant was offering a buffet style Easter brunch with a tasty assortment of eggs, pasta, salad, chicken (or was it fish?), fruit, etc. Then back home to watch a DVD of the play, Aftermath of War, featuring the scribblings of yours truly. A very special thank you to the director for spelling my name correctly.

For dinner, I went to my Aunt and Uncle’s. I tried to keep the topic of conversation away from Israel during dinner because we all know EVERYONE has an opinion about it.

But it’s hard to ignore the fact that I’ll be leaving next week. Naturally the topic came up. Unfortunately, it came up mid-meal. Needless to say, never before have I been more adament about my “No politics with family” rule.

Please. Don’t talk politics at the dinner table. Don’t talk politics on holidays. Never. No. Don’t do it. Bad news. Danger ahead.

I find it very interesting to hear the opinions of people in regards to the Middle East under normal circumstances. But a family gathering is not a normal circumstance.

At any rate, the Easter bunny came and went. Onward with the preparations. 10 days until Israel. Lots to do!
