Driving to Giant Tiger

 The Brandon Giant Tiger.

First Sunday of Lent: 7:15 AM

 I don’t start till ten this morning. I went to Sunday Mass on Saturday.  That means a lazy morning for me.

Some hockey game happening.  Tried to get my son to watch but he’d rather sleep.

Saturday: Rite of Election, St. Mary’s Cathedral, Winnipeg

 A photo of me with my sponsor:

A photo of me with Mark. a helper for our RCIA co-hort.

I saw a bishop in person for the first time:

I got to shake hands with him.

We posed for a group photo.

Friday after Ash Wednesday: 8:18 AM

 

Shoveling and fasting since Wednesday.  This morning, I was shoveling at 5:45 AM.  I have been eating less; experiencing hunger pangs.

Ash Wednesday

 I went to the 9:00 AM Mass.

I had to leave early.

Tuesday 7:26 AM: Fat Tuesday

 Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday so I have to make plans for Lent.  What will I give up?  Booze and junk food to start,  I will, as the previous entry says, stop posting quote videos.  I will probably stop uploading videos altogether for 40 days.  I will not post anything on X, Facebook, WeChat and Rednote.  I will also visit these apps as little as possible.  I will stop using AI to make silly videos.  I will ignore politics as much as is practical. But, I am not sure about this blog.  Perhaps, it will just be a spiritual journal.  I hope to be in communion with the Catholic Church in 40 days.

40 days

 

Hockey hockey game!

 Tony is in this photo.

I’m in this photo with my CNY hoodie.

Warmup.

Swag!

Game on!

The Wheat Kings won 3-2.

Chinese New Year outside my bedroom window

 

Keeping myself occupied.

 

In the photo above, you can see one of my rosary beads, my todo list and my quote video notebook.

I will be closing my off quote video notebook through Lent.  I will suspend this vanity project, but not before making a video announcing this which is the next item on my todo list!
