Most people observe Lent during the 40-day period leading up to Easter. I've never been a bigtime Lent observer but sometimes in years past I would shun a few favorites like Cheetos, Ding Dongs, or caffeine.
This year it appears I decided to observe Lent after Easter. I extended it well beyond 40 days and rather than setting aside harmful dietary substances I fasted blogging as I reflected on the meaning of life, black holes, string theory, the general level of stupidity among humankind and the like.
Actually, I was getting bored with blogging. I'm kinda that way. After I do something for awhile I get dissatisfied. It drives my wife crazy, but I like it. So, I quit blogging for awhile.
I know you're not supposed to do that. But I did.
My daughter and son-in-law are at the hospital giving birth to my second grandson right now. So, it seems a good time to break the fast. I know my return will send a tsunami through the blogosphere but I'm going to risk it.
