Today is Ash Wednesday. It's always been a mystery to me.the tipping point between the craziness of Mardi Gras and the long slog of Lent. I'm not a Christian. So I've never observed it directly. But I've observed other people observing it. I remember the mystery of seeing people with smudges on their forheads when I was a kid. It was is mysterious to me as our weird fasting and crazy candles were to others.
I like the idea of Lent though. It is giving something up. I think this Lent I'm going to give up something really interesting like cranberries or tire chains.. Or arsenic… Or maybe i will give up a letter.. Like the letter ' '. (Rhymes with sn'w)
That's it n' m're letter 's f'r the rest 'f the m'nth. W'w this is harder than i th'ught it w'uld be. Its hell 'n the spell checker that's f'r sure .. This is g'nna be t'ugh !
I feel m're pius already
Nite all, nite sam
