Giving this up for Lent

We’re encouraged to give up something for Lent. Doing so makes us a better person. So okay, I’ll forego something as well.

Sigh.

Okay, here’s my sacrifice.

I’m giving up lutefisk and mushrooms for the Lenten season.

What’s that you say? That must be hard.

It is, but I’m blessed with an iron will. Once I’ve gotten the Lenten bit between my teeth,  I keep going with my no lutefisk and no mushrooms vow until the start of next year’s Lent. Whereupon, I make a similar resolution. My resolve is in indeed unshakable. Happy Lent, everyone.
