I am fairly convinced, at this point, that homeschooling your kids because of your ~values is a bad idea, and that a lot of parents shouldn’t homeschool, and that hybrid school is a terrible, terrible idea.
And, for the love of God, your daughters should be going to college.
Your daughters should be going to college.

Went to see The Great Gatsby with my mom.
Should have seen it in 3D.

Guys do you remember years ago when I tried to strike up a conversation with a guy by asking all sorts of interesting questions about the Velikii Sbornik?
This same person was chatting with a lady and asked, “So, Fr. __ says you like ustav. I also like ustav.”
AHHH this is so great I love it.
Love love love that this is happening.
This morning Sava literally just sat out in the front yard buck naked and played with the mud in the planter.
I really just love that kid.

Etiquette Question
If I get a wedding invitation addressed only to me, with no plus-one, can I RSVP with a plus-one?
Can I call the groom and ask this question, since I know him and not the bride?
At what point do people start addressing invitations to “Erin B___ and guest”? I’m 25 years old for Pete’s sake…
Thoughts?

Holy Week
This is going to be so busy. I’ll see you all on the other side of Pascha. If you celebrate—have a beautiful Holy Week and a Bright Pascha!
If you don’t, well, have a good week! Y’all are rad.

shortbreadsh asked: rude
shortbreadsh replied to your audio post: Is it lame that I am listening to this? No? OKAY…
why would it be lame???
Uhhh because I just saw the Los Angeles performance of Planetarium. It was kind of incredible. And Nico Muhly is, like, what? He cut off one of Sufjan’s beautiful introspective ramblings and I was like, ‘Fo’real, Nico? Suf hasn’t even said anything...

My life is a roller coaster. I guess that is what I get for leaving that office job. That job was decidedly not a roller coaster. It was boring as hell. It was like being on a carousel forever and ever, which...
