Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of Getting Hammered.

I am your host, Mary Catherine Ham.

Thank you Hammerheads for being here.

I have heard that we have some new

listeners this week. Welcome new friends. We hope you like us. Yes, thank you. Please, stay for a drink.

It'll be good times. Happy. Happy Post-Sash Wednesday. Oh, let's talk about Lent. Yes, hello there.

It has begun. It has. It has begun.

You're a good Catholic Vic. I try. Do you give up anything for Lent? I do, and I've been giving up

the same thing for Lent for the last, I think, three years or four years. And that is, as our

friend Christian Soltus Anderson can sympathize, I am a civilization video game addict.

And so I will spend, if I have any sort of free time or I will create free time, then I'm trying to spend it conquering the world in different ways.

But it's a total time suck.

And in some ways, it's very useful because you get so into the game that you actually neglect your own appetites.

And so if you want to not like you want to skip a meal, just play civilization until it's like 1 a.m.

And then go to sleep.

But I gave it up.

And the plan as always is in lieu of that, I'm going to do more productive things like reading, cleaning, or even possibly spending more time with my family.

You know, I like that it's third on the list.

Yeah, yes.

The order is intended.

And that's what I began.

How about you?
