I must be going soft in my old age.

Instead of properly celebrating Mardi Gras today…y'know, eating greasy jelly donuts and somebody's idea of gumbo while raising your blood alcohol to some magnitude over the legal driving limit, throwing beads and trinkets and screaming who-knows-what…why, that's not how you celebrate Mardi Gras?…

This Tuesday, celebrate pancakes while helping those in need at a Midtown church that is hosting a pancake supper fundraiser.

Midtown's Cathedral Church of St. Paul's pancake supper is 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the church, 4800 Woodward Ave., Detroit.

This pancake supper supports the church's Sunday breakfast outreach program. The church cooks a hot breakfast and serves it to those in the surrounding neighborhood. Many of those whom the church feeds are homeless or food insecure.

Regardless of your denomination (or total lack of one 🙋‍♂️) everyone's welcome. And who doesn't like pancakes…or feeding the less fortunate?

Or, y'know…do a little celebrating before, go eat pancakes — they absorb "revelling" nicely — with a nice wad of "donation" in yer pockets, and let the good times roll afterward while the night is young!

Two afterthoughts…

that's not how you celebrate Mardi Gras?

Come to think of it, that's pretty much how I celebrate every day!

Regardless of your denomination…everyone's welcome.

Except Muslims. And Jews. And Mormons. And Buddhi…oh, knock it off, ya thin-skinned, humorless nailbiters! I'm joking! It's a joke! The devil made me do it!
