Just spent most of the last hour rocking out in the Sunday afternoon spring sunshine spilling through the windows, dancing and jumping around and air-banding with little Lucas and Nora to the Beatles, Bob Marley, Elvis Costello, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, U2 and more. At the end, when we had all worked ourselves into a state of happy exhaustion, Nora breaks the moment of familial oneness in the blissful post-Dionysian silence with a modest declaration:
"Dad, I tee-teed in my pull-up."
Ah, life. It's good.

I give high praise to our choir last night, while they are always decent, they outdid themselves last night, all the more so since many of the hymns and verses are once-a-year things that they don't get a lot of practice with. Oh, and the services were three hours in length too.
I myself bugged out after the Liturgy. It was 2:45am and I was just exhausted. Moreover our church is near downtown Baltimore, with on-street parking only (in a gentrified neihghborhood), and I had had to park quite a ways away in an area that quickly transitions from gentry to seedy, and I was a bit nervous about that.
I've been very low class in my feasting today. No fabulous ethnic food. Just Burger King for lunch and now pizza for dinner.
Christos Voskrese!
Actually, I'm listening to the Grateful Dead (May 77'!) right now, and it's exquisite! My sumptuousness consists of Taco Bell burritos. Your description of your day is wonderful. Nearly heaven.
Pardon my non-Orthodox intrusion, but in reward for your incredible discipline, you must treat yourselves with an order of, well, anything from this fine Wisconsin company. Ladies and gentlemen, Nueske's.
Happy Easter all!

Rod: the blissful post-Dionysian silence
Beautiful. Forget the blogging -- write poetry!
Wait - keep blogging and write poetry too.
Христос воскресе! Во истину воскресе! (Christos voskrese. Vo-istinu voskrese). A blessed Pascha to you and your family.
P.S. I know well the crisis of little Nora. Wish those days were back again.
