It\u2019s two! Two Holidays in one!<\/p>\n
But first I have to share something that I read back when they first announced the casting for Black Panther.<\/p>\n
<i>There are only two white actors with named roles in Black Panther (and on the poster). Martin Freedman who was Bilbo Baggins in the Hobbit films and Andy Serkis who is best know as Gollum in Lord of the Rings. Does that mean they are the Tolkien white guys?<\/i><\/p>\n
Again not mine but had me laughing when I read it.<\/p>\n
Today is Valentine\u2019s Day, which is a boon to chocolate manufactures, card companies, florists, and restaurants.<\/p>\n
It is also Ash Wednesday, which is a day of fasting and reflection about the upcoming Lenten season. Or as I use to call it, \u201cwhat are you give up?\u201d day.<\/p>\n
It is a meatless day so picking a restaurant is a little more of a challenge if you are Catholic and going out to eat tonight. Chocolate is given up by many or rather sweets are put away for a while. Me, I am giving up beer and going to re-set my gym schedule to something more akin to normal after I get the all clear on my knee.<\/p>\n
I got some lovely pieces of salmon and plan to make Peter and me a nice dinner before he goes bowling this evening. Caroline will be fed at Robotics and they are having pizza tonight.<\/p>\n
We have no heat in the house. We are hoping it is just an oil delivery away but they couldn\u2019t deliver until today so last night was about bundling up and keeping warm. We are lucky that it didn\u2019t go that much below freezing last night and going up into the mid to high 40s during the day.<\/p>\n
Happy Valentine\u2019s Day to those who celebrate that.<\/p>\n
May you have a good Lenten journey if that is part of your belief system.<\/p>\n
I am grateful for my husband who I love and adore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
