The Easter Bunny is everywhere, if you let him or her be. You might find your Easter Bunny....
....At the pump, after paying $97.52 for a full tank....of regular, and you will smile at the wonder of that.
....On line at the bank, which is your old bank with a new name and logo, which is an unattractive red and gold, and there is a huge expensive flat screen TV behind the counter telling you how many good things are available to you from this bank which was once not only one but two banks just....Too Big To Fail....and you think, "Liar, liar, pants on fire," and dance a little jig with him....
....or maybe when you realize that your property taxes are exactly equal to your child's private college tuition, ....and that both amounts are about what your parents paid for their
house in 1966, and you will think about them, your parents, with even greater admiration and gratitude...
....or, you might find your Easter Bunny....
....when you read that GE, a company you once admired and held shares in, did not owe any federal income tax for 2010, and, in fact, will receive a seven-figure refund or credit, and you may marvel at the size of the American flag flying in front of their HQ in beautiful Bridgeport, CT....and you will think that boys will be boys, oh well....
....or while listening to a commercial on your TV which continues to blast at a much higher volume than the regular programming so that you can still hear it in case you try to leave the immediate vicinity of the TV area during said commercial, and you might recall that Congress was going to legislate about that, but have not yet and you imagine the TV lobbyist at lunch over
perche du lac at a restaurant in Washington and his voice is so loud it can be heard over the collective voices of the lunch crowd as he explains to your Congresswoman, in her 10th Congress, how much his clients need that volume to sell more and create more jobs and you can almost see her smiling at the thought of
profiteroles for dessert....
....or you might find her....
....when you realize just how much you truly love your dog, who does not ask for much beyond an occasional walk in the sun, a nap on your lap, a period of scratching her belly, and those fabulous "pet pocket" things in which you hide her pill, but which to her taste like the
boudin noir you once ate for lunch at 33 Rue Jacob in the Sixth, and you think Ah, Easter in Paris in April....
....in the centerpiece of the dining room table all set for family Easter dinner as you did when you were a child, and he is yellow on the outside and marshmallow inside and you bite off his ears which taste even better than you imagined a sugar-coated marshmallow Easter Bunny's ears could possibly taste....so you bite off all the rest of the ears too....
....or you might find him while on your knees trying to fit the contents of your old very large clothes-closet into you new quite small one, when you also remember just how fortunate you are to pay more than your fair share of taxes, fly an appropriate-sized flag and have something in that TBTF bank; and so you pray a decent length prayer, while accepting the gifts you've received regardless of their size and promise not to lose sleep over other things you have not yet received and may never, which is perfectly okay....
Happy Hunting.
