Saw a funny card. Said since Easter is on April Fool’s Day this year, let’s have the kids find Easter eggs we didn’t hide. I laughed. If you’ve been that parent who was scrambling to do the middle-of-the-night bunny delivery, you get it. A friend who was with me said having kids look for nonexistent eggs is cruel and would be confusing to a child. Um … first of all, I wouldn’t really have my child look for eggs I didn’t hide. Probably. And second, Easter is pretty confusing anyway to wee ones. At least it was to my little girl mind way back then. We dyed eggs. For a long time, I thought it was because Jesus died, we "died" eggs. Actually I dyed pretty much everything I could find that would fit in the cups of vinegar-based coloring. My mom was mostly OK with it. In the name of science. String, socks, dollar bill, dinner roll, my finger, a crayon. My imagination-lacking sister said you can’t dye a yellow crayon, it’s already colored. My mother is largely to

It took until Opening Day for the All-Star closer to find a home, but Greg Holland and the St. Louis Cardinals agreed to a one-year deal, according to a baseball official with direct knowledge of the deal. The official spoke to USA TODAY Sports on the condition of anonymity because the deal has not been finalized. Holland, who declined to exercise his $15 million player option and rejected a $17.4 million qualifying offer from the Colorado Rockies after the 2017 season, agreed to a $14 million deal. Holland led the National League leader in saves (41) last season after missing the entire 2016 season recovering from Tommy John surgery. After posting a 1.62 ERA and 28 saves in the first half, he struggled down the stretch with a 6.82 ERA and 13 saves.  Luke Gregerson was the projected closer for the Cardinals before he was placed on the disabled list. Dominic Leone will serve as the stopgap until Holland is ready.

Last night, HBO announced that a new trailer for  Westworld ’s second season was coming by  interrupting the broadcast on all HBO and Cinemax channels simultaneously  — and now the trailer has finally arrived. Set to an epic, orchestral cover of Nirvana’s “Heart-Shaped Box,” the spot hits on all the major story threads that were left dangling from the season 1 finale. Bernard is still struggling to cope with what he is, while Dolores tries to convince him of the beauty and worthiness of all hosts. Teddy laments that he and Dolores have “ridden for 10 miles,” and all they’ve seen is bloodshed. Maeve wants to find her daughter — despite the fact that she may just be a figment of her programmatic imagination. There’s a quick glimpse of a figure from Westworld’s sister park, Shogunworld, and Ed Harris’ Man in Black intoning, “I’m gonna burn this whole thing to the ground.” It’s juxtaposed with him walking toward a ragged door cut into the side of the mountain, which may be a nod to

PLANO, Texas  - Police are looking for the person who shot several people outside an apartment complex in Plano. Plano PD spokesman David Tilley confirmed four people were shot Thursday morning in the 7400 block of Alma Drive. One of the victims also crashed a vehicle in the Cross Creek Apartments parking lot. One victim died at the scene. Tilley said the others were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Police have not yet said what prompted the shooting. But they believe it was an isolated incident and they think they know who the gunman is. Officers are still searching for the suspect.

HOUSTON — After Hurricane Harvey, flood control became a biggie issue for Houston. On Tuesday, Harris County Flood Control District Officials approved a study that will look into the possibility of building massive underground tunnels to drain flood waters from bayous across Houston. “I’m for doing this study because they are at least checking it out and seeing if it's worth it see if it will work and they aren't just rushing into it,” Ethan Zierath said. Flood control officials say the idea is a bold solution to alleviating the chronic flooding that has plagued the Houston area. The study will cost about $400,000  and should be completed by October. “$400,000 doesn't equate to the amount of people who would be displaced,” Helen Lepien said. If the tunnel project gets a green light, it would displace and disrupt some people, but far fewer than any other proposed methods, like buying out homes in flood-prone areas. After living through a 500-year flood, thr
