I'm back, Donald! :-)

Well, I'm at Thessaloniki right now.

My Greek is gradually getting better; Greek is a difficult language indeed.

3 months without computers, telephone, electricity, and hot water on the Holy Mountain (Mount Athos) as a monk was a great experience.

I think the 40 days of fasting before Christmas was a healthy experience. I needed it.

And practicising the Jesus Prayer builds up.

I still live in 2011 according to the Orthodox Julian calendar.

My spiritual life is fantastic.

I was baptized Greek Orthodox in the Mediterranean sea, close to the best Church in the world - Metamorphosis (Transfiguration) - at the Koutloumousiou monastery, which is like a home for me.

I might show up at the Greek Orthodox Church in L.A. soon Christ willing.

Have a good one! :-)

'We helped make this mess...'

And how is that, Ron?

We pushed power into the hands of those who were not quite ready to govern. Not a politically correct statement, but I believe nevertheless a fact.

Thanks, Donald! :-)
