Welcome back to the FoxWeb! We hope your week is starting out well.
It's a busy time of year this year, event-wise and holiday-wise. Saturday was the celebration of the lunar new year, ringing in the Year of the Dragon in China. Sunday was the celebration of the Superb Owl and all the craziness involved therewith. The Big Question was answered: Taylor Swift did in fact make it to the game, and appeared numerous times on camera. The conspiracy theorists had and continue to have a field day there, so some are having fun.
Tuesday is Mardi Gras, known in some parts of the world as Fat Tuesday or the International Day of Pancakes.
Wednesday is both Ash Wednesday and Valentine's Day, which can create a certain amount of liturgical confusion. Lent begins on Wednesday, which in some Christian traditions means one is supposed to give up certain luxuries to cleanse the spirit heading into Easter. Valentine's Day on the other hand is all about luxuries, notably cards, flowers, jewels and chocolates. What is a good Hallmark-abiding Christian supposed to do?
As with so many things, it's a mystery. The real mystery is why someone decided to cram all these celebrations into a five-day stretch this year.
So it goes. Enjoy what you can, observe what you must, and be glad there were a few reasonably good commercials during the Superb Owl this year. Our favorites were for Disney+ (featuring a string of text-based iconic lines from well-loved movies), Budweiser (because, you know, Clydesdales). and a trailer for the new Kung Fu Panda movie coming out in March. There were no really amazing ads this year, but it has been some time since anything ad-wise really grabbed us. Such is the nature of things sometimes.
We hope you are enjoying anything that pops up which might be enjoyable. We'll be back on Wednesday; until then, be of Cheer and stay safe Out There.
Aloha, y'all!
