Lent

Today is the first day of Lent. Last year, you might recall, I punished myself with something I dubbed 'Extreme Lent'. I gave up all alcohol, meat, and screaming at my children, plus I vowed to exercise every day. I pulled it off, too.

I've already gotten several people asking if I'm doing it again this year.

Quick answer: No.

That was insane. Never again.

As my buddy Tom said to me: "He's not asking you to carry the cross."
