Not only is today the first day of lent, and Detroit area Catholics [[and Catholics around the world) are giving up Valentine's Day*, but seriously, there is news that Pope Benedict's health is failing.

* It is sad to have a meatless soup Lenten meal instead of filet mignon. Does save money, though... I gave my meal money today to St. Vincent de Pauls in Detroit.
EDIT: There is a correction on Pope Benedict's condition.
