Lenten 'Fast'?

Hey guys, Lent is less than a week away, so this Saturday is our last VG before Lent. Anyone else interested in doing another VG fast like we did a few years ago? I had a couple of thoughts for how to spend Saturday evenings instead:
  • Board Games - A couple of you have asked about doing more board gaming, and this would be a decent time to do some of that.
  • Role Playing - This might encourage me to get off my mental duff and get my adventure put together to run you guys through.
  • Running around - as the daylight gets longer we could even do something extraordinary like taking the kids (at least the ambulatory ones) to the park and playing disc golf or something, and then coming back after an hour or so to crash and hang out.
  • Get drunk - not one of my better ideas, but if we get desperate we could always go the route of debauchery!


Any other thoughts about how to spend Lent as a group? If we wanted to be extra untraditional, we could even invite the girls to hang out with us on Saturday nights while we're doing board games/park/whatever (probably not the getting drunk one tho). Anyone not at all interested in giving up the veegee this Lent? I'd say that if one person isn't on board we should just skip it this year.

I won't be at VG tomorrow (Emily and I are celebrating Valentine's Day), but this sounds great to me.

In Lent I debauch only on Sundays. Any of your other ideas sound good, though.

I won't be there either due to the Scottish Games. Do you guys want to have the last VG day be next week instead?

If you want to try out different stuff that's fine but I don't know how well we can wrangle the kids while doing something like an RPG. So I'll leave it up to Adam and Gabe to decide since Sofie stays home with Katie during GN (her idea). Not to mention Matt is no longer responsible for watching Ted.
