TAKE COVER

Truly bizarre holidays are colliding!!

It’s Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent on the Christian calendar, so you’ll be hearing — and seeing — a lot about that today.

It’s also National Margarita Day.  So those of you who are thinking about giving up liquor might want to pause and reconsider.

Actually, it’s International World Thinking Day, Be Humble Day, and Walk the Dog Day, too…

Might I suggest the following order of events?

  1. Walk the dog.
  2. Think hard about what you’re giving up for Lent, if anything. (Hey — Downton Abbey is off the air for months…isn’t that penance enough?)
  3. Be humble about your decision. (Translation: no need to mention it every day.)
  4. Have a drink.

Happy Wednesday, everyone!
