today is Ash Wednesday. A long time ago we used to go to church every Ash Wednesday and get the sign of the cross on the forehead. I don't think I've done that since about third grade.
Elizabeth was ready early this am so we made it to the VRE in good time. They have started prohibiting parking in the area of the station so the parking problem will only get worse.

i remembered that i had to get gas on the way to the VRE today so i left early. i got gas at the safeway. this is new to me. i now know of two safeways in nova that sell gas. has safeway done this for a long time?

we watched some speed skating and some downhill in the olympics. spectacular crashes in the downhill. i was amazed that one lady got up and walked away after the fall she took. the vonn won her race.
we also watched an episode of ST:TNG where jlp falls in love with the new head of stellar sciences. nice episode but i kept feeling that jlp seemed an awful lot like howard sprague in this episode.
it's funny i absolutely loathed howard sprague when i was a kid. now i occasionally see him on nick and nite and find that he's a fairly likable nerd in the mode of ned flanders. in essence, a truly kindly person.
for many years i couldn't believe melanie in gone with the wind but when i realized she really was that nice i came to really like the character. howard is a little like that.
