My dear Friend and president, DJT,

            Happy Easter! This will be one of my quickies. I want to run over to our Village Homes Easter Egg event where about 30 kids will be running around one of our common areas finding the eggs that folks, like me, have hidden there for their hunting pleasure. Most of the egg hunters will not know what Easter is all about, but that doesn't seem to stop them from enjoying their candy. 

           Easter is a challenging holiday to explain to a child, don't you think? Since kids haven't paid too much attention to the short depressing days of winter, they don't get that Earth coming back to life in spring in worthy of celebration. How do you help kids understand that Jesus got a little too popular for the rulers of the day so they decided they needed to get rid of him? Kids don't get politics so that part of the story is lost on them. Eventually, you get to the part where the disciples find an empty tomb. Since I find that hard to believe myself, I always have a hard time helping them comprehend how miraculous that would be. Given your reluctance to recite the Apostle's Creed, I have a feeling that, like other Presidents before you, like TJ and Abe L., you, too, are skeptical about the bodily resurrection.

           I hope your Easter Egg Roll is a success tomorrow. It sounds like you should have plenty of eggs, 74,000 to be exact.  Have you seen that special blue egg that the American Egg Board made just for Melania that says "Be Best?" It's quite fancy!

I hope that you keep your remarks tomorrow upbeat and positive. 

           Have a great day!
