Why, oh Why, Can't I Belong to a Religion That Observes Lent?

My Liberal Unitarian Buddhist Beliefs do not include the observation of  lent.

Which means that I won't be giving up beer this spring.

Which means I won't be losing any weight.

Which means I'll still hear conversations like this in my house:


Teen (to father): I did 30 push ups.

Father: So? I did 30 with Ten-Year Old on my back.

Teen: Oh yeah, I did 30 with Thirteen-Year Old on my back.

Father: Really? Well, I did 30 with Mom on my back.

Teen: Wow! I can't beat that.

Give an Overweight Secular a smiley at Humor-Blogs, will ya?
