Life changes fast...

So, today is Ash Wednesday. Millions of Catholics around the world are walking around their cities and towns with ashes on the foreheads, and thousands of others are walking up to them asking," Hey, do you know you have dirt on your face?" 40 days of this. Lent is supposed to be a time of reflection and reconciliation for the last year, and for your life, as we begin to celebrate the most holy day of the year- Easter - which we do by having out kids gorge themselves on chocolate bunnies and Peeps.

This year for Lent, I've decided to go back to the tried and true method of my youth and give something up. I've decided to give up pop and candy, and as an added bonus, give up eating at McDonald's. This means for me 2 things: 1)no gummi bears, which is my life source; 2) no red licorice during baseball games, which is what I chew instead of dip. This is going to be a long 40 days.

In other parts of my life that are changing, i'm moving in less than 15 days. Holy crap. not a lot of time to get 20 years of life into boxes while also splitting up the memories. In case you hadn't heard, my wife and I got divorced in January. I don't know what I'm going to do about that, and when I move out, I'll probably have a good cry about it and get really drunk, but it really hasn't hit me yet. Most of all, I don't know what to tell my daughter. I've got to come up with something quick.

So, I'm sorry if this post is depressing or something - i'll be back to funny soon

See ya around
