While talking to Dan tonight using an international calling card from my favorite beachside phone booth - I had a revelation. We realized that I would be home in exactly 3 weeks (21 days) meaning that I have been here for 40 days thus far - since I am here a total of 61 days. Yes, I counted before I left.
Anyway, it dawned on me that 40 days is the same amount of time as Lent... which THEN got me thinking even further. During Lent this year I gave up bread & cheese, but had Dan with me by my side throughout that time. Now, though, during this pseudo-Lent (40 days as of today), I have unlimited bread & cheese, but I don't have Dan.
How come I can't have BREAD & CHEESE & DAN all at the same time?! These are only 3 of my favorite things!! Oh well. Just thought that was interesting.
