ATTN: DRINK-SHARING INFIDELS.

Please to not suddenly disappear when I have doubts about your ability to walk. At least say, "Ciao." It's only polite to take leave of your host.

Today: hierarchical divine liturgy with the bishop. Since I was the second altar-server to get there, I got to play "staff-bearer" instead of "dikiri-bearer". It didn't prevent me from messing things up, but it went all right in the end.

Tomorrow: will I wake up on time to go to the liturgy for the Entrance of the Theotokos into the Temple? I didn't make it last week to St. Philip or the Thursday liturgy and I wanted to, but this is a Major Feast.

Lately: I've been stealing Georgian choral music. Georgia: the best wine and the best choirs in the world. None of it makes it out to America.
