‘If you were inclined to give up something for Lent, what would it be?’
“I’m giving up my buy-

some money. Charlie’s
giving up bad behavior.”
Charlie and Tracy Wilson, Astoria
THE DAILY ASTORIAN // QUESTION OF THE WEEK
“Licorice. I love lic-

give up something, it
should be something
I really like.”
“Give up hamburg-

I pray for the whole
world every day.”
