Moving right along...
I suppose I should get on to some more important topics...things that are truly Orthodox, deeply meaningful, and in keeping with the venerable teachings and traditions of our Church. Issues that revolve around the salvation of our souls - especially since we are now in the midst of Advent. So...
I wonder if I should bail on the goatee and get the full-on holy beard going again. It is, after all, chilly outside (Oh shoot...was that worldly of me to consider the temperature in this matter? Speaking of which, if there is an Old Calender, is there also an Old Thermometer? If so, maybe it's not really that cold out.)

For what it's worth, I've decided that for the rest of my stay up here in Alaska I'll be growing a "crazy mountain man beard" (which happens to be pretty much identical to a "holy Orthodox beard"). Of course I've only got two weeks growth so it isn't very impressive yet.
-16F in Fairbanks this morning, there's nothing like having your snot freeze every time you inhale...
I'm not sure I consider the second day of Advent "in the midst of" by the way ;)
Rade: I want pictures.
Susan: then you have to shave me while I read Runciman.
BTW, i would caution you, if you do grow a beard (even though they're dumb), be prepared to fend off the ladies! They won't be able to take their eyes off of you! seriously.
You are right, two thermometers. I'm of the New Calendar variety too, so I hear what you are saying about the Thanksgiving interlude.
that sounds like an exciting bus ride, do people watch you beat yourself up or do they just ignore you?
