Wow.
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Me too.
Wow.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
DH and I just decided we're giving up meat for Lent. We're going to follow the tradition that allows you to break your Lenten fast on Sundays, so it's not going to be a month and a half with no meat at all. And since it was originally DH's idea and he's coming to it from a Catholic background, fish is allowed. But I don't like fish very much, so for me that's part of the sacrifice, and I'll only be eating it once or twice a week when he cooks it for dinner.
It's a big change from my usual Lenten sacrifices, which tend to be things like "no swearing," which lasts until the first time someone cuts me off in traffic, or "no buying books," which given the size of my to-be-read pile and my library hold list isn't a hardship unless a favorite author happens to have a new release in that range. But I'm looking forward to it as a challenge and a way of forcing myself to cook and eat more mindfully.
Thing is, I'm discovering my cookbook collection isn't exactly vegetarian-friendly...
ETA saw the video this morning--definitely a wow.

Thanks!

Susan, the library is the best place to find cookbooks, and IIRC, they have some good veggie ones. It's pretty easy to do -- I periodically give up meat, and was a vegetarian for a time in my teens.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It's Obama's "Yes, we can" speech intercut and set to music with people singing his words. People like Scarlett Johanson & Kareem Abdul Jabaar and lots of other famous faces.
But it's just (a) very inspiring (b) very contemporary and now and hopeful. Particularly after the Bush years. It's like seeing that pinprick of light when you've been trapped in a mine.
