farewell to meat!

Happy Mardi Gras, people! Nothing like kicking off the Lenten season with unabashed debauchery! This is an activity at which the denizens of druid labs are quite accomplished. Probably not tonight, though, since we both have class.

Anyway, here's the customary "what I'm giving up for Lent even though I'm no longer a practicing monotheist" list:

1) The slightest notion of control over anything for the next month or so.
2) My unhealthy obsession with money.
3) Any vaguely negative attitude towards myself.
4) This cold. Yes, folks, it's going away! No hospitalization required.

Short list, huh. Oh well. Chug a hurricane for me and do, indeed, earn those beads today!

Okay, so a funny related story:

I went to the grocery store on Wednesday after meeting with a student. When getting out of my car, I saw a woman getting out of her car from a distance, and she looked like she had a giant bruise on her forehead. All I could think was "ouch" when I saw it.

So then I go into the grocery store, and I thought I saw the woman again, and still thought she had a huge bruise on her noggin. Then I got my cart, and started walking through the store. "Wow, that guy has schmutz on his forehead, I wonder if I should tell him that he should wipe off his forehead?" Then I saw a number of people with black smears on their foreheads.

Duh, it was Ash Wednesday.

Hee hee!

I've given up paying people to make me coffee and paying people to make me salads.

Not only should I be all righteoused up by Easter, but I should also be rich!

Lent, huh?

As a recovering Episcopalian married to a nonobservant Jew, I am nevertheless willing to forgo the meat to demonstrate my solidarity.

Let me know when I can eat meat again...you know...I don't do church so I won't know...
