Abstinence
No, this isn't another post about Birth Control, it's about Lent. Beyond the traditional fast and abstention from meat, Catholics are encouraged to give up relatively harmless habits and other small comforts. As with the past few years, I've given up the Dirty Seven in an attempt to slow the vulgarization of my vocabulary. This year, the gf has also convinced me to give up soda - we'll see how that goes, esp. since bottled juice costs more than bottled soda at Ala Carte.
As a public service, this year's Ash Wednesday services at St. John's will be at 8 am, 12:05pm, 5pm, 8:30pm, and 10pm. For those who prefer a Spanish-language service, that'll be at 7pm.
