For Ash Wednesday I'm wearing an ashen-gray plaid tie on an ashen-gray shirt. The annual Lent Madness "tournament of saints" begins tomorrow. One of the contestants this year is Nicolaus von Zindendorf (1700-1760), known to me principally as the founder of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Somewhat better known people in the field of 32 are Johann Sebastian Bach, Dorothy Sayers and John Donne.
