#3 Thank you for posting this, Frank G. I’ve been a bit distracted, what with Mr. Wife retiring at the end of the day this past Friday — I only noticed that it was almost Passover on Thursday, so I gave up on having a Seder this year. God will understand, I’m sure.

Cute, Procopius2k.

It’s unusual for the holidays to be quite so close together, given how the Jewish lunar calendar wanders — that extra month every eleven years or so makes things interesting. But that makes this year extra nice for those of us with friends’n’relations in both camps. ;-)

#4 After the left trotted out there anti-Trump pron stars, Mrs Trump showed class and grace hosting the kids WH Easter Egg event and accompanying the President to Easter Church Services. Clinton News Network heads were most likely exploding.

#5 Congrats on Mr Wife's retirement Friday. You both earned it. Enjoy.

#8 Yes, congratulations for sure. Perhaps he can now help with the cooking and household chores, freeing you up for full-time Rant duty.

Only kidding :-)

#10 Y’all are darlings — thank you! Besoeker, sharing the burden is the plan, though more aimed at me having more energy to play, now that he won’t have much in the way of business travel.

#11 TW. Mr Wife's first simple cooking recipe (guaranteed to make him feel proud as it makes really fluffy rice.)

Really Fluffy Rice

2 cups of water in a small pot with 1 tablespoon butter and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

Bring to boil.

Add the rice to the water, 1 cup, lower the heat and put the lid on the pot.

Let simmer for 20 minutes (do not take the lid off or the rice will not get fluffy).

(I add a couple of small bullion cubes for chicken or beef flavored rice.)

Will supply instructions on how to do the laundry later (poor guy ;-)).

#12 You are kindness itself, Ulaigum Ebbineng7056, but the first time Mr. Wife and I hung out he made me Chinese stir fry... and he spent eleven years developing new and improved laundry detergents for markets around the world.

I’m looking forward to him cutting up a couple of pounds of chuck so I can make goulash — it’s been a while since I’ve had enough energy. And I’m very glad he’s taken over ironing and grocery shopping, as those used to be his responsibilities back when we both were in paid employment.
