Don’t be a jerk

Please don’t try to wipe the the smudge mark off your friend’s forehead.

I don’t need the ladies in the Rosary society to remind that today is Ash Wednesday.

So begins forty days (remember that the six Sundays between today and Easter don’t count as part of the 40 days) of prayer, fasting, contemplation and community service and not the Lentil season, which is marked by forty days of legume eating and gas passing (but that’s another story.)
