Remember when we were kids and we had nothing to do on Good Friday? It was terribly hot and there was nothing on TV, the kids in the neighborhood stayed indoors so you couldn't go out and play. You sat around feeling hot and bored.
In our teens nothing was open so even if we wanted to go out there was nowhere to go, so again, you're stuck at home watching the 7 Last Words or Ben Hur.
Now Good Friday is no longer hot (Al Gore might just be right about the climate change nonsense), there's cable and the some shops are actually open. You can actually have an almost normal day off from work, except that when you're about to go out and actually do something, you remember it's Good Friday and perhaps we should be good Catholics and instead sit around all day and do nothing or worse, watch bad local tv.
