I strove to avoid writing shrove but I couldn't resist the temptation. Tomorrow I'll probably feel like an ash.

Never mind Joe - in 40 days you'll feel good.

Every year it seems like I have barely gotten the Christmas decorations put away when the Easter baskets start showing up in the stores...

'Shrove' Tuesday... yeah, that, too.

You're pretty fast in putting them away--usually I see the baskets and chocolates by Dec 27th.Lord Jim wrote:Every year it seems like I have barely gotten the Christmas decorations put away when the Easter baskets start showing up in the stores...

Another name for today is "Mardi Gras" -- Fat Tuesday.
And an interesting bit of trivia.... It all ends at midnight. No matter what goes on during the carnival season and specifically on Mardi Gras day itself on Bourbon Street, it all ends exactly at midnight. At the stroke of midnight, Lent starts and the party ends. Mounted police leading a parade of large street cleaners clear Bourbon Street. So, it's best to be off the street before midnight. Many newcomers to Mardi Gras either don't know this or don't think they mean it and get caught up in the fray. Believe it, the party ends at midnight.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?
