Heading into a long weekend as Green (or Clean depending on tradition/translation) Monday approaches - a day of picnics, kite flying and carnival activities before Lent begins on Wednesday. It's warmed up too - 20 degrees and the breeze is mild.

Quotation from our current reading, The Day of the Scorpion: "Compulsively tidy people, one is told, are alwas wiping the slate clean, trying to give themselves what life denies all of us, a fresh start."
