Just dropping a quick reminder that I’ll be completely offline Sunday, March 1.
I don’t know exactly how long it’s been since a day went by that I didn’t touch the Internet at all, but it might be a decade or longer.
“See” everybody Monday.

I’m going to try to plan the day a little better next weekend. I made it without a slip yesterday, but I’m not proud of how much television I watched.
Looks like you were ahead of the curve Bo.
Catholics are urged to give up texting for Lent (AP)

Wow.
I wouldn’t even think about throwing it down for the whole period. I’d never make it. Sundays only are challenging enough.
