A friend gave up booze for Lent.  She and I got talking about what I would give up for Lent, and I couldn't think of anything.  I'm kind of a workaholic, but I can't really give up working for Lent.  I waste more time than I would like, but if i'm lazy then I'm too lazy to give up being lazy for Lent.  But today I realized what my vice is.  I don't drink really, I only smoke a few times a month, but I eat out a lot.  I eat out probably once a day on average, whether that's going out for dinner or just getting a coffee and bagel at Tim Horton's.  It's the convenience of it, you see.  I'm always on the move, if I'm home I'm typically working.  So I eat when I'm on my way across town and realize it's four and I haven't eaten anything yet. 
Today was that first glorious life-affirming day of the year.  I walked home from being out all day and noticed that there was no snow on the ground any more (I later saw some in the top corner of a driveway in a spot where no sun gets to).  On my way downtown, I called Shaun Downey and asked him to come out with me after my meeting.  He could not, but when I got out of the meeting I called Kelly Grace and offered to take her out as a reward for her stellar success at the Art Expo.  I was thinking something casual and light, that I'd spend 20 - 30 bucks for the two of us.  We instead went to a sushi place and blew $70 without even trying.  But it was fun! 
And now some photos for no reason:
