Mom is becoming more fluent in the email. At first it was an occassional email, if at all. But recently it has become more consistant. Which of course means that I should finally get off my lazy butt and call access4less.net and get her signed up like I promised. But enough of the sidestory. Today I got an email from Mom saying that she went to see Mel Gibson's The Passion. Something I figured she would do sooner or later. What I didn't expect was her brilliant insight into the movie. It's not what you might think. You see, I'm Catholic. And right now is the holy season of Lent, the 40 days of religious introspection before the Easter celebration/mystery. And as preparation for Lent, you have to undertake certain religious ceremonies. Going to confession, going meatless on Fridays, giving up something as a sacrifice for the 40 days, etc. One of these rituals is the Stations of the Cross, where you stop at 14 stations, each station depicting a pivitol moment of the Passion of the Christ. Do you see where this is going? So Mom, of all people, suggested that maybe the movie could stand in for Stations of the Cross. Hmmm. Free but boring religious ceremonry in church, or $12 commercialization fo Christ. The latter would be the American way ... :: Bowling Update Game 1: 164 Game 2: 98
