Happy Easter, Fire fans!

We had the current home jersey and a scarf blessed. It hasn't worked for a long time, but we haven't had a current jersey in a long time either.

 

We didn't have a current jersey in '98 and it worked then. What didn't we have in '98? You!

 

I don't know if this made the news page earlier this month, but I believe it's worth re-posting the William Morkin/Pope Francis/soccer ball story here.

Saw the Easter Bunny this morning. He smelled like whiskey and cigarettes.

 

He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying. Go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going ahead of you into Galilee, there you will see Him; behold, I have told you.

Matthew 28:6
Matthew 28:7​

Happy Easter

 

That's a good breakfast.

 

Is that from Halfblood Prince or Deathly Hallows?

 

Neither.
It's from Chamber of Secrets.

 

That Matt guy was pretty funny and imaginative.

 

Any excuse to pimp Caravaggio:

The Inspiration of St. Matthew

 

I highly recommend you visit San Luigi dei Francesi in Rome, Italy where that and two other Caravaggio paintings on the subject exist. Fascinating and unbelievable creations.

When you see those three paintings in a row in the original alcove where they were originally created to be put on display really changed my appreciate for art. It makes a visit to a museum a soulless, cold hearted experience in comparison. Seeing those three paintings in their original home really blew my mind.

 

It helps being a Fire fan to believe in something that was destroyed but that can rise again.

 

"I do believe in signs. I am religious," said Rodriguez, whose team opens the season at home on Sunday.

Tell that to the fired equipment manager!?

 

Julian Calendar Easter is May 1st this year.

 

I think that's also the Rodriguez Calendar season opener. Maybe we'll have a team by then.
