Happy Easter

…to our Christian readers.

We’re not used to having to worry about being snowbound on Easter. It is early this year; for a long time I wondered why Easter jumps around on the calendar, until finally I looked it up. Easter is the first sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox. The reason it’s so early this year is that the vernal equinox was on March 20, and we had a full moon on March 21. Just in case you were wondering.
