I think Ihave most of my friends covered there........

This year the Russian Easter falls on the same day as Catholic Easter and the Passover, some years there are several weeks difference because of the Julian Calender.

Today looks like it is going to be a grand and beautiful Sunday. I had my usual ritual this morning, sadly thinking that the closest Russian Church is in Mexico City. That's one ofthe things that I miss on special days like this, it brings back many memories of growing up in the city, attending 3 to 4 hour church services with my family....
Hopefully the Lord will accept my feeble reverence outside amongst the trees for a few minutes.

I keep saying that one of these years I will put together a Russian Easter Dinner Table and invite a few friends over to sample what I grewup on, but substitutions will have to be made.

I use to help my grandmother prepare the Paska and Kulitch every year, maybe that's what plumped me up in my formative years.

One of the rewards was to clean the mixing bowl after she made the Paska. Paska is a Russian dessert that is made in a form like a pyramid and is made from bakers cheese, lots of eggs, butter, all those low calories realhealthy items.

She always would make Kulitch also. That is a most sweet bread something like the Italian Panitone, but sweeter and much more dense and heaver. This was baked in metal coffee cans that were about 6 to 8 inch in diameter and 12 to 14 inches high. If you are ancient you will remember that coffee came in giant cans in the 40's and 50's.

For many it will be just another day, somake the most of it also!

Wishing all a very Happy Easter, Passover and Spring Break......

Now go enjoy your family and the day.....we woke up, what a blessing!

Oh, and for my other friends.......have a nice Sunday!

Why oh why, or what's the point?

There is nothing more than I hate is that of wasting time.
Maybe because I have less sand in the hourglass than I had a year ago. Maybe because there are so many things that I want to do and as the cliche says " so little time".

So when mydesktop computer started acting lame, I knew that I would waste a lot of time trying to resolve the issue.

And I was right.

For some reason I got an virus, or malware or trojan horse, a pain in the ass no matter what you want to call it.

What the malady was is if you put in a line on a google or yahoo search , your result would come in, but when you clicked on it, it would take you to atotally different site.

Calling a computer guru friend of mine in Northern California, he instantly knew it was the Goggle Redirect....Great.....So what's the cure I asked?

Well................

The cure would be to start the computer in safe mode then run one of the anti virus programs.
In my minuscule conceptual logic, I failed to understand how if my virus program didn't catch thedastardly virus the first time it would do it again.

It failed miserably.

I ran, one first, then another, and because the culprit did it's work rather well, I couldn't down load it on the computer, I had to put it on my laptop first, then transfer it to the desktop, so on and so on.

It was not my day, to have functionality, at least on the computer.

After multiple scans it found nothing....
