growing up Catholic today, tomorrow and the day after always confused the s**t out of me. a day for the dead, followed by a day for the good dead, followed by a dead for all the almost good dead. a night of sugar highs followed by a night of tummy aches, followed by a night of mourning for having to share my cake. (2nd is my birthday LOL)
this yr I am intending on not sharing my cake, but then again my dear wife has me on a strict sugar intake, so I doubt anyone is going to be partaking of that cake

love the poem JD
