It Is Now Post Time.
We're Off...Get back to the Ville, early this morning, the critters are all sound asleep..There are parrot masks and empty alcohol containers all over the place.. I ain't messin with them today, it is Ash Wednesday, and we can have the party tomorrow..Yes sir this time does not roll, it travels in light years..I was just saying my favorite Holiday is Thanksgiving..I was just saying how nuts Black Friday is, then it was Christmas Eve, then the big day itself, Christmas, New Years Eve, New Years, Football Playoffs, Superbowl, Ground Hog Day, Valentines Day...BAM!!! Ash Wednesday..A solemn day if you are a Christian, a day when Jesus finally realized that his death was imminent, and showed his humanity by leaving the people he loved and travelling, into the desert to fast and too see if this horror he was about to face could be eradicated..True to himself and his followers, he really knew it could not, and he accepted his fate..there is a sequence during the time Jesus was in the desert where he was actually tempted by the devil.. Goes to prove those demons will attack anybody, if they would attack Christ, what's the chance they will attack man?? There is a hundred percenter..Well for those of us that believe in the, ashes to ashes, dust to dust..It is a day to recognize the beginning of the agony of Christ, and it is a day to show our Christianity by receiving the signature ashes to the forehead...So if you are a believer, do the Christian thing and try and attend Mass and receive ashes if at all possible..Remembering back to childhood, it was like the kid that got more ashes would take his thumb and press it on the kid that didn't get his fair share.. I have to tell one funny story that happened to me on Ash Wednesday, I was a daily Mass attendee every day during lent for, I am going too say close to 30 years.. In fact I stopped just a few years ago..When my two oldest children were in grade school, I mean young third and fourth grade they started going with me everyday.., and it was a 6:30 Mass so yeah, we were up early in the AM, we went to a little church on Rt. 206, St. Anthony of Padua..They both went with me until high school..Well along the way I had another son, 10 years junior to my eldest daughter and nine years junior to my son Ernie.. Well this guy was different from the get.., and on Ash Wednesday when he was about five I took him too church with me, and I look down and see him staring at the people coming back from the altar and he is looking at the ashes on their heads.. I feel him trying to break free of my grip.. and we are almost at the altar, we are next, when he shakes free, takes off down the aisle yelling, I'm not doin to det dem.....and out the door he runs, the priest smiled and hurriedly put that ashes on my head and I caught him in the back of the church, telling him that wasn't very nice...he looks at my head and says.. I ain't ever doein to det dem...Needless to say, when he was a sophomore in high school, he came home one day and told his mother he was a Buddhist, as I was picking her up off the floor and telling her it was just a phase he was going through.. I was really wondering if he would wind up in Tibet.. Today he is Dr. Joe Keebler..A Doctor of Human Factors Psychology at the University Of Central Florida..and may be moving on to Kansas.., and no he is not a Buddhist..

We are reaching the last week of February, and it is almost 60' in the Pine Barrens..Kinda crazy..I just hope this winter isn't holding off until March, we all know March can get rough around here..I gotta a feeling the hog was wrong and the six more weeks of winter ain't happeinin..You know there is a blizzard on the way now baby..They always said, (does anyone besides me ever wonder who they are??) that some of the worst storms arrive in March, well this year I hope they keep on travellin and don't arrive at all...That way Plain and The Toads, can whack all the way until hmmmmm next February.. It would be pretty neat if we just keep getting winters like this. Can that really happen? Without jumpin the gun too much.. Let's wait and see what Miss March brings too the picnic..
