Mardi Gras/ Ash Wednesday

So did you celebrate today?

What (if anything) are you giving up for Lent?

I'm giving up moderation.

This year, as I find myself embroiled in spiritual confusion while seeking zen and protection in the form of red yarn from what George Bush so eloquently refers to as "evil-doers," I will be giving up Lent for Lent.

both great suggestions. I usually give up Lent for Lent.

Having grown up Catholic I became adept at picking something to abstain from that would please my parents, but that I could do without much sacrifice, like walking to school instead of taking the bus (hah! I loved walking and hated the bus).

Now I just lament the fact that I missed yet another Mardi Gras. Someday!

I do like Ken's idea though.

I gave up moderation a long time ago. Since then my idea moderation has evolved. It's now "Everything in moderation, including moderation."

I'm not giving up on anything.
