April Fools?

You know, I feel like I am dropping the ball, but I did not do a single April Fool's prank. Not a one (I did, however, get a kick out of the "fact" that NPR was sponsored by the Soylent Corporation, as well as the story on limiting ring tones in New York City). The reason I feel guilty about it is that my grandmother was an April Fools' Day master. Every year, she would have my grandfather urgently responding to some gag that she had managed to make believable.

So, I was going to hold up the banner, but, honestly, if I wrote in this space that I had sworn off pasta or joined the Salvation Army, you would know what was up. And if it were something more subtle, you wouldn't care.

It is snowing in Oakland today! April Fools.

Yawn. Anyway, we weren't in Oakland until 8:30pm.

So, no April Fools this year. Probably none next year, either. It has never really been my bag.
