Givin It All Up for the Lent Myth

So, today begins the 40 day period the Catholics call Lent. This time is supposed to represent the fairy-tale story about Jesus going 40 days without food and water, or something like that.

But, I feel that since I really like the Christmas holiday (originally a winter solstice celebration that got stolen and renamed by the Catholic religion), I figured I’d go ahead and play along this year with one of their other celebrations and give up something. For forty days.

So, I’ve decided to give up eating Candi. But that’s only because she just moved out of Philadelphia and I won’t get a chance to see her.
