It is after 10 p.m. Sunday, April 1, 2007 -- and it just does not feel like an ordinary April Fool's Day!

My day started early and not one person today attempted an April Fool's trick, joke or wisecrack. I am not sure if that is a good or bad thing, but I feel like the one national shared holiday devoted to good-natured fun has gone by unnoticed.

Here is my take -- it is a Sunday -- a Palm Sunday too. Maybe the wise-cracking and joking side in each of us took a break in deference to it being Sunday – a widely regarded day of rest? In any case, remember April Fool's Day antics are no good on Monday, April 2nd.

Speaking of day of rest, I worked a half day on Sunday -- which for means I am able to leave after the Wakeup show and no reporting. When those rare opportunities come along, I am able to attend a Sunday morning worship service.

Ninety-nine percent of the time I attend New Testament Church of Milwaukee near 102nd Street and Bradley Road. The Palm Sunday message by Reverend Julius Malone was superb, timely and spoke dramatically to the significance of this Holy Week.  What a blessing and a treat -- Jennifer and choir simply rocked!

I would love to hear from you readers of this post your most memorable Easter tradition!  Mine includes attending Good Friday service -- followed by a meal and discussion with friends.  While it has been a while since I tried my hand at coloring eggs, I still have my year round love affair with fruit-flavored jelly beans (I will pass on the spice-flavored variety).  Stretch your memory caps and share your favorite Easter memories -- religious or just real fun times.

Have a great week -- and remember you missed your chance at spoofing someone -- there is no such thing as a belated April Fool's Day.
