Happy Easter

Happy Easter Everyone!

The best day of the year with the possible exception of Christmas. Growing up in the late 1970's and early 1980's, mom and dad would always hit the local candy wholesaler and purchase a full wax box of Topps cards. Then, instead of eggs, the packs would be hidden, 18 for me in the family room, 18 for my brother in the living room. Then, the ripping would commence. Spring / baseball season was here!

    Happy Easter! And I too remember the old candy wholesale stores with stacks of unopened boxes. There was one on Michigan Avenue just a few blocks from old Tiger stadium in Detroit. When my buddies and I would take the bus from Dearborn to Detroit as teenagers in the early 1980s, we would get off in front of that store and pick up a couple unopened boxes to open between innings of the game. Awesome times!

    May your baskets be plentiful. As young, eager scavengers, we were always pleased to find the treats our family elders cleverly placed around the home. These days, I'd be more pleased to find a basket of bran muffins.



    Happy Easter fellas.

    Maybe you dialed the wrong area code?
