Easter Egg Hunt

In a comment on Fab Trip 23, MarkyD wanted to know if I could share The Egg, what with Easter coming & all.

Well, I was chewing over the idea with Al B, Umen drummer & long-time friend. First let me say that Al is a Holiday nerd. He starts in decorating his place weeks before Halloween or Xmas. He never thinks he's done enough until he does too much. He suggested since MarkyD wanted The Egg that I should have an Easter Egg Hunt.

I'm the polar opposite of Al. I'm a holiday minimalist if I even celebrate at all. I barely manage to get candy for Trick-or-Treaters or my costume ready by Halloween; barely get gifts wrapped by Xmas day. I feel like I'm moving forwards but I end up slipping backwards. For the holidays I enjoy going to other folks homes, visiting with them, & see what all they've done. But Al sez: "Holidays are about Home", that I should just travel lator.

Being an narco-anarchist Dub Buddhist, I don't even celebrate Easter, it being a Judeo-Christian holiday that used to be about Passover. Easter is really copped from the pagan goddess who was called Ēostre. But what about Easter eggs? It kinda ties in with Lenten fasting. Orthodox Christians in Mesopotamia had been dying eggs red as a symbol of Christ's death around Easter. The Catholic Church also began a practice of abstaining from eating eggs during Lent. At Easter, Christians were allowed to eat eggs again, so the practice of giving & hiding decorated eggs became a way of celebration.

I thought this Easter Egg Hunt idea would give me something to do. I decided to find whatever music I had by The Egg & get some mixes together, but I didn't have much luck, so you're stuck with this rambling tale (not really even an Easter bunny tail).

All I can say is that there are five Eggs hidden about. Good luck & have fun. Let me know how it goes.

If you find the hidden Eggs, please let me know what you found in a comment. I won't post the comment so that it doesn't ruin it for others still searching. So far I don't know if anyone found any of the super-duper Easter Egg treats.

For those of you who can't be bothered with fun or are just lazy leechers, here's one for you...
