Take A Leap

A Day In the Life - So I have an office calendar that listed Thursday February 16th as Ash Wednesday. Recognize I don't follow this religious observance, but I actually talked myself into assuming the start of Lent being on Thursday this year had something to do with Leap Year. I even wished, someone (who is Catholic) on that day, a Happy (or sad...whatever we are supposed to be on that day) Ash Wednesday. The person looked at me a little strange but didn't correct me or question me. But come to think of it, they did look a little perplexed.
Coffee & Donuts - It wasn't until I went to Meijer the next Monday (the day before Fat Tuesday) that I realized I (and my calendar) was off. Yet I didn't stop to consider why I was wrong about it any more than I had stopped to think why Ash Wednesday would be on a Thursday (I mean was Easter going to be on a Monday?). I just accepted it as being wrong. Right or wrong...I am used to being one or the other.
Kruger Industrial Smoothing - "I'm not too worried about it." Evidently he was after all. Daniel von Bargen attempted suicide last week. Right or wrong does add up after a while. We act like it doesn't matter or we hope it won't, but our decisions take their toll. It must be hard to attempt suicide, a lot of things to consider... many people succeed at it. Also, many people fail at killing themselves. That's gotta be hard to live with. Or maybe the second chance is worth the failure.
Whitewater Can Be Treacherous - I recommend watching the new PBS.com film on William Jefferson Clinton. Very interesting. Dee Dee Myers says that Clinton believed in second chances. He believed that a person should receive as many as they were willing to attempt. Better theology than politics. Yet Clinton took advantage of every one he received. Where is he now? My guess, like the rest of us, he is working one of them out.
An Extra Day - You woke up today like every other day. Step wisely. Your choices matter. Act like it but more importantly, live like it.
