  • FlashbackFriday: Lo Tech

    OLD NEWS THAT CEOS of tech companies will not let their kids play with smartphones, coupled with my own experiences in High Tech where no one ever uses the word “addiction” but everyone – everyone at every level – talks about “stickiness” and “keeping eyes on”. Everyone is looking for the right “lever” to pull…

  • Chevre Souffle

    Chevre Souffle

    YOUR HOST STARTED MAKING souffle during Covid. Jacques Pepin said his Mom used to make it this way. I doubt that – I bet Jacques made this recipe: he always finds ways to cut corners. That’s ok. It’s not the full-on Trad Souffle. Let’s call his the Novus Ordo Souffle. The only difference in my…

    A New Project

    WHEREIN I try blogging in another language. The tagline says “Now I can make typos in two languages.” It’s very simple sentences and I do use Google Translate to check myself – and for more complex constructions. I don’t promise much by way of exciting content. But I hope to be able to get better…

  • I just adore weather…

    AND WE’RE HAVING so much of it this year. We don’t get sleet or hail here very often and, since I got here in 1997, I’ve never seen it accumulate. We’re having thunder and lightening. I’ve only heard the former 4 times since 1997. I’ve never seen the latter at all. And a few moments…

    Christ is Born!

    JUST home from celebrating the Vesporal Liturgy of St Basil, marking the Eve of the Nativity on the Julian Calendar, aka Russian Christmas. Two and a half hours of Liturgy and then wine, borscht, pirogis, stuffed cabbage, and more wine. Nerdy conversation ensued. Hell, St Faustina, Seraphim Rose, St Augustine… There were Dominicans and Jesuits…

  • It’s Cold

    I had to get out the Lama Coat. It’s hella cold here. Needs to be taken to the tailor and be taken in a bit. Maybe a new lining. But still the best coat I own.

    What remains

    LAST WEEKEND as I passed this spot I saw a homeless guy drawing circles while his gf sat nearby shooting up. Today I found the circles. Obsession becomes art. We leave the beautiful.

  • What is a Week End? # 2

    What is a Week End? # 2

    SORRY TO BE LIGHT in posts recently. I’ve three weeks of Deacon classes in a row, along with all the reading that would normally come over 6 weeks of classes. It’s sacramental theology which is, really, the most un-Orthodox of Western theology. So I’m having to lean in here. That’s just made the weeks really…
