\"momEaster54s\"<\/a> – The f\/k\/a<\/em> Gang is going to spend Easter Sunday in Rochester, NY, with our haiga collaborators Mama and Arthur G., and other beloved relatives. (Find some Easter memories and haiku here<\/a>.) Of course, when we think of Rochester and family, we also think of Tom and Sarah Painting <\/font><\/font>[see painting & painting: mount hope haiku<\/a><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/font>], who — like the Calabash, NC , branch of our family — are also surely contemplating Opening Day and the new baseball season. I’ve got to hit the road, so I’ll just leave you with a few haiku and best wishes for Easter, Spring and all the new seasons.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n
