Happy Thursday, it's Tracie.

Just hearing "Easter Egg Hunt!" gives me anxiety 😬. Like, how many eggs per person are there?  What if there's someone who doesn't get any? What if two people go for the same egg and there's a confrontation?  It's just too much. I know, I sound like a lot of fun.

But, for those of you who

are

interested in a little competition, or perhaps just like melted candy that's been handled by who knows who, here's a list of all the places you can fulfill those desires. 🐣🍭

Thursday Weather 🌡100% chance of ☔, but a high of 62 degrees, so at least that 💧 shouldn't turn into snow...until Friday when there's a 30% chance of ❄️.

Around Town 🏘Delaware is experiencing a bit of a renaissance in the last few years. Not to toot our own horn 📯, but we gave some great insight into the enclave a few months ago.

Longread What's old is new again in television these days 📺. Reboots are all the rage. Will & Grace premiered anew after 11 years. American Idol is back after several seasons off the air. Perhaps most exciting, okay fine, most exciting to me: BUG JUICE is returning to The Disney Channel after almost 20 years. Oh, if only I could be a camper at Camp Waziyatah...🐜🐛Another popular 90's sitcom returned to airwaves this week, Roseanne, and the cast of characters still have problems that viewers can relate to. Financial problems, divorce, and of course, politics. While the show treads lightly, because any primetime network show doesn't want to alienate potential viewers, the perspective is interesting. Bi-racial characters and gender fluid grandchildren add some much needed diversity to the show, but will it be enough to bring Roseanne back from the dead, similar to how they brought dad Dan back from the dead for the reboot?💀NPR: 'Roseanne' Returns For A New Conversation.
