1. Busting out monster foster child #1 re not doing his chore, and withholding allowance until he does said chore.

3. Making chocolate chip cookies.
4. Maybe go to gym, or maybe just be on line too much.
I attended a service last night, too, dersins- I'm in the choir, so it's kind of expected to be there for all services. Plus, they are really beautiful.

Good Friday starting after work -- haircut, then church.
Speedmarching. (Maybe try a Metro Park with steeper hills?)
*Not* dogmarching. Our volunteer lead just quit, so our shift's volunteers are sorta on indefinite leave. Hope somebody's gonna go sit in the kennels with the big dogs -- I was, AFAIK, the only person making the effort to play with them and socialize them.
Loading Fedora 5.0 on a last-year's-model Compaq laptop. (Cross yer fingers. People are telling me leave Fedora alone and go with Ubuntu.)
Easter Sunday sunrise service, in cold (mid-20s) wx at the reservoir, then Easter dinner and cigars in the hot tub at her partner's house.
(Freebie since dogmarching is obviated) Maybe get the taxes done? Or assemble and fly a kite?
(Sleeping, eating and sex are somewhat overrated. Just oil my moving parts and dust me off occasionally.)
I have my college roommate, her husband, and 3 kids in town visiting so I'm playing tour guide:
1. Hitting the slopes around Tahoe

3. Goin' four-wheelin' to take the kids rock-hunting (some good crystals to be found)

1. Good Friday Seafood Fest at my folks. Not eating meat on Good Friday is my father's only concession to religion of any kind. He's always been adamant about it. Odd.
2. Early Easter dinner with the in-laws on Saturday.
3. Egg-dying at my sister's house. Visits there have been fun since they got a free pitbull off Craig's List. They feel I am unnecessarily prejudiced against their dog because I am "ignorant" about the breed. I counter this argument by repeating the phrase "FREE CRAIG'S LIST PITBULL?!?!?" with a look of horror and incredulity until they shut up and put it outside.
4. Hosting Easter brunch and egg hunt at Rossi Manor.
5. Hosting Sopranos dinner later that night. Woot! Let the wackings commence!

5. Sleep.
1. Packing all of the belongings that I intend to bring back across the Pacific -- because I'm moving back to San Francisco next week (from Auckland). They're going in a port of Oakland-bound shipping container on Tuesday morning.

3. Drinking Guinness.
4. Buying an All Blacks T-Shirt for my 1 year old nephew.
