I have never done it but I have found it becoming more popular in the last few years. When I get on the train some day I don't think I will be brave enough to start with beer.

My FIL reminded my eldest that Sunday's during Lent are "free" days...keep that in mind if you're desperate! :) I hope you're feeling better today!<BR/><BR/>I didn't make it to Mass, either, but my son has Influenza A (though he is now quite well w/ a couple of days of Tamiflu on board) so for now, my penance is dealing with a rambunctious almost-six-year-old boy (fighting fiercely w/ my 3 yr. old) who isn't permitted back to school until Monday. My goal is to keep him alive that long.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00619730947350578202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6115679628400900738.post-81930364288910790132009-02-26T07:44:00.000-08:002009-02-26T07:44:00.000-08:00It sounds like you are going through beer withdraw...It sounds like you are going through beer withdrawls. . .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6115679628400900738.post-88089332766615825422009-02-26T07:22:00.000-08:002009-02-26T07:22:00.000-08:00good luck on that!
