THESE 40 DAYS OF LENT

Today, Ash Wednesday, was bright and sunny while yesterday, Shrove Tuesday, was gray and nasty. Interesting. For lack of anything better to give up I gave up booze again. And I ate more fruits and vegetables today than I have in a while. Some say Lent lasts 40 days, actually it's more like 44. No matter how you lok at it, it lasts more than one-tenth of the year, which sucks.
