Our wedding day!
I got married on Sept. 2, 2007 in San Francisco. I've still got the newlywed euphoria. Here we are in Alamo Square Park

Don't take me too literally...

The advice that I give in this blog is pretty casual, and often silly. None of this should be a substitute for a good talk with a priest. I'm going to try staying within the bounds of what's acceptable for Orthodox Christian living, but there's no guarantee I'll get it right. However, there are an assortment of matushki and priests who do read the blog, and I trust that they will chew me out if I commit Pelagianism or something.

I moderate the comments here -- feel free to say what you like, but there is a limit to how snippy I'll let someone get. And, if you get into a fight with another commenter, expect that most of your comments are going to be rejected.

If you do like this blog, please tell your friends, or better yet, subscribe! I love to hear from people.
