Happy Easter!

Happy Easter from your friends at the Dog Denizens of Genesee Park (DDGP)!

Maybe you're finishing a breakfast of hot-cross buns (the breakfast pastry with a built-in punchline) and hard-boiled eggs. Perhaps you've preparing a festive dinner of country ham and red-eye gravy. (Remember, no sauce for your dog; coffee is a key ingredient of red-eye gravy.)

Or maybe you've turned on your television anticipating the annual network telecast of The Ten Commandments... only to discover that ABC has scheduled America's Funniest Home Videos, Brothers and Sisters, and a two-hour version of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition on Easter evening. Missed the biblical epic by one evening. ABC aired The Ten Commandments in the Saturday night dead zone to compete against reruns of NBC crime dramas, Cops and America's Most Wanted.

If you seek Easter evening entertainment on the tube, check out the marathon of America's Worst Driver on the Travel Channel. The reality program pits four participants -- identified as poor drivers by their family, colleagues, and soon-to-be ex-friends -- in a series of obstacle courses ostensibly to test their road skills. The person with the worst score is forced to watch his or her car destroyed by robots, explosions, monster trucks, etc. "No.....! Not the new Prius!"

The Travel Channel filmed an episode in Seattle for airing this season. And, contrary to popular belief, I am not appearing on the program. Like the majority of dog-park users, I need my car to make the trip to Genesee Park.
