....March 2, 2008
 

February is over.  Praise Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, especially Joseph who, like a good father, quietly worked his ass off and, with little fanfare, provided for his family.

As it has been every year, February was the bleakest month; in fact, the entire month is now designated Bleak History Month.  Each year in February, the country pays tribute to noble ideas and movements, like jaywalking slowly, rap music, and apostrophes.

I suffered a depression in February.  Technically, it was only a recession, but it was a deep one with slow personal growth and a touch of stagflation.  I was so blue, I worked on my obituary:

March on.
