Poisson d'Avril!

April Fools Day. Is there a better day, or a better topic, on which to throw a party?

Well, yeah. Plenty. Personally, I've never gotten all that excited about April Fool's Day. It's kind of a day where crumbs pull practical jokes on others, my kids insist on repeating the same joke they played on me last year, and a few confused souls -- at least of my acquaintance -- get confused, wear green, and go around pinching everybody. For Cokesbury, it's a time to serve refreshment salads in banana skins, boys shaking girls by the foot rather by the hand, and a time to encourage your friends to play with rubbish. So be warned.
