Ash Wednesday Tradition



After receiving ashes today, ABS renewed his tradition of going to Palm Beach and slowly driving around the streets looking for what would appear to be a member of the Tribe that killed Our Lord and Saviour and when he identified such a one, ABS slowed down, eye-balled him intensely with a Why-did-you-kill-our-Lord-and-Saviour look on his face before racing off through a red light.

At Mass today, ABS was Pew Mates with a negro from New York and after Mass he took the time to share with her his thesis that distributing only black ashes (as if there is no such thing as white ash) was a form of soft racism and she responded to the thesis with a look that made ABS question his own self if she spoke english.

All in all, it was a good morning and a fine way to begin Lent.
