To Everything There Is A Season
By Joseph F. Sica
see relatedThey moved the Sam's Club, so now it's closer to home and I don't have to cross the interstate. Yay!Sunday, Father Milt's homily tied the gospel reading into Lent (which started today). He mentioned how the Navy has a saying that the difficult they'll do today, but the impossible will take a little longer to get done. Jesus' lesson asks us to step outside of our comfort zones, and do what might seem difficult or impossible with God's support. That is also what Lent asks of us.After mass, I headed over to Wayne's to feed and water the pets. After that, I headed over to Jay & Kim's for a delicious dinner of steak quesadillas. After that we watched "Fear Her," the only episode from Series Two Doctor Who I'd missed.The following day we all went to the Arizona Renaissance Festival. The ticket booths were open earlier than usual, and crowds were less than usual. I finally sat through the new Ded Bob Sho, which was OK. I'd gotten so tired of the original performer's political views taking over the show, that it was refreshing to only have one small political view at the very end. The new performer was also much more upfront that it is an LC show, but that didn't really stop entire families with small children from staying through the whole show.Late in the afternoon, the occasional light rain turned into a short downpour, encouraging a major evacuation. During the downpour, a lightning strike nearby started a fire. That caused ABC, FOX, and NBC to send news helicopters and hover them directly over the stages of the festival. Not only was it anachronistic, but it made it difficult to hear the miked performers.I ended up catching the second half of Heroes: The Best Show on Television after the festival. I'll watch the first half on the official site sometime this week (hopefully), although Mike says that all of the good and important stuff I've already seen. Tuesday I was so tired (from a cat who wouldn't stop caterwauling all night and an early work day start), I went straight to bed as soon as I got home. It turns out a missed a few phone calls that evening that I didn't hear ring while commuting home and once in bed. Oh well. People will live.Thanks to stacinator for the quiz:You Are a Centaur

I'm so looking forward to our next RenFest. Now that I've FINALLY been to one I know that we should go to the shows and skip most everything else.
I'm a Centaur also.
