Shrove Tuesday

Happy Mardi Gras!!! Yep, it's that time of year again where we cook pancakes to use up all the butter, eggs, milk and lard in the pantry. Well, OK, so the Episcopal Church has long since abandoned such strict observances of Lent. But it is still a good excuse to eat pancakes. So tonight I've invited a few people over to eat. And this year I've actually got maple syrup, both genuine and just maple flavor.

Other than that, my sneezing has subsided and now my ears are blocked. I'm not stuffy, just cannot hear well. It is all very interesting. It feels like I've got water in my ears.
