The Lindsay Wildlife Museum will be closed Easter Sunday, but open all next week due to spring break. They have an exhibit up there right now called Bring the Condors Home. I’m always overcome with childlike amazement when an endangered specie returns from the brink as the condors did.
Tonight it’s March Madness up at the Pleasant Hill Wine Merchants. If you haven’t been up to this place, they know wine. No, they KNOW wine. And they’re really nice people. Here’s their blurb for tonight:

Walnut Creek Breakfast with the Spring Bunny, $5 adults, FREE
for kids under 12, There will be a pancake breakfast with the
Spring Bunny at the Heather Farm Community Center.Â
My favorite brunch location is Patrick David’s in the Livery in Danville. Don’t know if they’re doing a special Easter brunch or not, it’s best to drop a dime on them first, but if you go there be sure to order that warm chocolate souffle. It’s possibly the best dessert in Contra Costa County, and I’m not a chocolate fan. Scott’s in Walnut Creek has a special Easter brunch, call early, they’re always crowded and with good reason.
And we’ve got a decent weather report for the weekend so it’ll be a great time to take a hike around the mountain, or a ride or a run or a nice 18 holes. Have a great weekend everyone!
