It's the Christian observance of the liturgical year from Ash Wednesday to Holy Thursday! It's a forty-day period of fasting and prayer! Let's get excited about Lent!
For Christmas I got my brother this card game called Thunderstone. He likes it a lot. The goal is to venture ever deeper into a dungeon with your heroes, slaughtering monsters for points, and it ends when someone claims the eponymous stone from the bottom of the deck.
When we moved in, our entire house was painted Realtor Beige, which was... okay... completely inoffensive, and I never thought about it. Jenna just painted some walls, and what a difference it makes!
Paisley got a room of her own (formerly the craft room) with two blue accent walls. Natalie got the full treatment with everything pink. Ever the contrarian, she took one look around and announced, "it looks the same."
My little brother and I had our birthdays this week. Our celebrations combined into one big game day on Saturday. Kevin brought his fiancee and a friend to Rusty Quarters in Uptown, where I joined them for some retro arcade action. 
This is what you get for Valentine's Day when you're married to a brony... if you're lucky. Last week I drew my daughters as ponies and now my wife gets the ponification treatment! Distinctive features are her glasses and favorite necklace.
Two more Fridays have passed and you know(?) what that means. Two more Formal Friday mugshots for your eyeballs. More guys from the office have been joining in but I cropped them out because this blog is all about me, me, me. Also to protect their privacy or whatever.
