Palermo, you're relieved

Jenelle and I had a frozen pizza for dinner tonight. It's the last one I'll have in quite a while. As some of you may already know, I am giving up pizza for Lent. I know that other people give up chocolate or meat or whatever, but I don't eat those very much. I decided that this year, I would make a genuine sacrifice. Those of you close to me know how frequently I eat the stuff.

However, when we make sacrifices during Lent or at any other time, we must keep in mind the reason we do such things. It is one of many ways to show deference to our God. There are many people who make similar sacrifices, but not by their own choice. More on that this weekend when I attend the 30 hour famine.

Boston Trip, Day One
Sarah picked us up at the airport and took us to the Union Street Bar/Restaurant for lunch. We didn't run into anyone with a Boston accent, but we enjoyed the atmosphere. After showing us her apartment, we made our way to the hotel. After checking out the hotel's amenities, surfing the internet, and planning the days ahead, we got some carry out dinner at a nearby Thai place. We spent the remainder of the night watching Survivor, CSI, and E.R.. Fun, eh?

I missed somebody's special day yesterday:
Happy Birthday, Uncle Mike!
