Why not have a bit of fun on April 1?

• We spend 1/3 of our life sleeping, 1/3 working and 1/3 cooking, eating, shopping doing laundry, cleaning, going out, entertaining, and having FUN.

• By that I don't mean a site I just stumbled on to download for fun things to do on April 1, which would give you fun viruses and so on. I look for reviews on all sites before downloading.

• I don't mean practical jokes, either.

What do I mean for fun things to do on April 1?

• I live in Edmonton, Alberta. Some fun things to do are here.

• They include the petting zoo, the Muttart Conservatory, going to a play at the Citadel (the Kite Runner has just finished a run), many other things you could do on April 1 with the family, with children, or by yourself, if you're a lone wolf like I sometimes am.

• The Geek Stuff, oh, my son would have loved this, and I have a friend who is a geek as well! If you are a computer geek go here for things to do on April 1 or any other day of the year.

• Festivals, Japanese culture, art and design, and more: FUN things to do in Toronto! Hello, Don Gillmor, author of Mount Pleasant.

Above all, remember the reason for the season is Christ's death and resurrection, or Apollo's...we are saved.
