ash wednesday
np: crooked fingers, �bad man coming�

the next time someone asks me why i didn't become jewish instead, i will say Because i like Ash Wednesday, that's why.

it's not just the singing-in-latin, i promise, although you may suspect me of protesting too strongly.

(no. really. a surprising number of people have asked me why i would choose to be catholic "when you could have become jewish instead.")

on the way home from mass i stopped at kroger to buy bean some red carnations (the flower selection was weak, weak) as a thank-you, because when i came home from work i discovered that she had cleaned the shower.
