The Holy Gospel according to the Prairie Messiah

Like a myth you rode in from the west. From the go you had my button pressed. Did the tea-time of your soul Make you long for wilder days? Did you never let Jack Kerouac Wash over you in waves?

Lamb of God, I come, I come.

This morning I was reminded that today is Ash Wednesday by a remenient of a Shrove Tuesday prank. Somebody found it fit to place a dead armadillo laying on it's back, hugging an empty can of Natural Light in the middle of the street sometime during the night. Mardi Gras day did not go unnoticed at my office, being we had a huge fish fry potluck with all the fixins.

Party hard before the six weeks of pennance, and don't forget your disciplines. Unlike Catholics, we don't fast and if one chooses to give up something, that's cool, but not necessary. Community service and volunteer work are the more encouraged sacrifices. Lent is not so bad, that is until Good Friday. I just find it such a drag to kill Jesus every year. sigh...
