How's Your Lent Going So Far?

So far so good at my house. We all met at the refrigerator at midnight. I used to feel guilty about that, but one year I texted my spiritual director at 11:59 and asked him if that was a sin, and he texted back saying that he, too, had his hand on the refrigerator door at 11:59. So now it's a family ritual.

First things first --- Update on Pope Francis. "The pope slept through the night and is resting peacefully." Rinse and repeat. A cycnical person -- not I, mind you, but a cynical person -- might be needing a proof of life video about right now.
