it looks like i made it. admittedly, i don’t have rock-solid records since day one, but i kept track this time and i can honestly say that i kept this year’s lenten promise. 46 days without a single ordered pizza, taken-out box of chinese food or purchased compact disc. no newly bought DVDs either. the experience appears to have had a lasting effect, as today i flipped through the used stacks at the local hollywood video and walked away empty-handed.
it is interesting to note that i wasn’t the only one considering some lent-based moderation this year.
