How long's Lent? I just heard a Jesuit Priest/magazine editor say he always gives up being negative and mean in his writing for Lent. He said it's hard. I don't know how he does it as an editor of a magazine. I gave up the news the other day which has lasted a few days. I was tempted to write about the news today but I got so pissed I decided to extend my boycott so I don't get more pissed writing about it. I'm going to check this Lent thing out.
