He gave up social posting for Lent. He does it every year, and some other religious holidays, too.
-Also note -and this is not relevant to your interests at all- how totally gay the series subliminally is, ironic because no evidence whatsoever that Burroughs was, and all his grandchildren would get mad that I say he wrote romance like he'd never kissed a girl, when he'd already sired some of their parents. But the women are McGuffins, the relationships with are hollow, and Carter spends more time talking onstage to his male friends Tars Tarkas and Kantos Kan - even in Princess, Dejah Thoris' actual largest onstage presence in the series.
-And this whole thing took me decades to arrive at, but I even think "a clean-limbed fighting man" isn't scarless; he's body-hairless. [homosexual]! -I really wonder what ERB's deal is.
Now it's flat-out bull that Thuvia was any "maiden" after Lord-knows-how-many years as the spectacularly-beautiful slave of the Therns, but the fact that she was, at minimum something like 28 to Carthoris' 16-18 at the time of the novel is rendered considerably less squicky and wrong by the fact that Barsoomians mature as fast as, or faster than, earth humans and look then like that for 1,000 years. -It's nothing as bad as the navels and mammalian features on people who hatch and lay eggs for needing to ignore.

So, I'm gonna put this here since it's a line of discourse, but if you want it over in the religion thread, that's perfectly suitable too.
I've never been a practicing member of a religion that observes lent.
My understanding was that it was something more akin to a religious new years resolution. Giving up something you struggle with as a means to improve your lives. But, I see many people just give something up for the duration of lent itself. Not as part of a permanent change...thus I ask what is the point of giving up something you do not intend to give up?
Well, right now I'm finishing up my kids' history of Byzantium. Odd as it sounds, it'll be far easier to market. Don't know what I'll do after that.

It's intended for Orthodox homeschoolers. Like my kids. The fact that there's an existing market of other Orthodox (and a few other) homeschoolers is just gravy.Byzantine Empire Anime Opening (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRRQQVK6nV8#)
The prospect of homeschooling an American child deprives these children of a decent education.
You have mentioned the Waltons before, but I'm still not familiar with them.Aside from finding out what I'm on about, I recommend this show to you, as a family man with kids. CBS show about a rural family during the great depression, ran about seven years, wholesome, pretty good for 70s TV. The parents' shortcomings watered down for primetime into near-nonexistence. If you can track it down to watch for free or at least very cheaply, do give it a try and see what you and Shelock and the boys think.
This is an official nagging notice, noting that Pyrebound has not been very good since 25 December, and demanding you get back to work.I'd also add that I've been a loyal fan, checking for a new chapter every Sunday evening I remembered to, which is some, and "boosting" until that stopped working in my default browser, which I didn't realize for quite a while, but I've been doing it in MSEdge for over a month.
