Mornin’ everyone…finished three consecutive days of ski patrolling yesterday with a 16 year old snowboarder with a pulled groin…got to give him a sled ride from the top of the mountain that he won’t soon forget.

Oh, and today is the first day of Lent…happy Ash Wednesday to all the Papist lizards…the rest of you can hang out with the cool people in purgatory.

I was brought up in the Protestant tradition and had never had much practical experience socializing with Catholics. When we moved to Northwest Indiana (a heavily Polish Catholic region associated with Chicago) in the 4th grade, I accidentally discovered the practice of not eating meat on Fridays when I bought a meat entree at the school cafeteria and everybody stared at me like I had horns growing out of my head.
