        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

            It’s in the fifth generation of our family at least. Every Easter without fail. Begins day before. Egg dying, then egg decoration and one fighting egg. I have results going back to the 1970’s of the winner for every year. Several winners are no longer with us and get the mention at the table. We don’t knock. We tap. Lots of subterfuge and it’s become an art form. Eggs are inspected for illegal PE’s, such as nail polish...
