Time Change

I don't like the time change. I wish Congress would abolish it. Yes, I missed church this morning.

Last night just before the start of the vigil for the Adoration of the Cross, I talked to Ian. Now we have one godparent of each sex for the new baby. I talked to Anna on the Sunday of of St. Gregory Palamas. So, that is taken care of. But there are still many things to get firmed up.

Such as....

The 8th Day prayers and the namingof the child: Issue - Athanasia might not feel like driving to the cathedral in San Francisco. And Fr. Victor might still be sick, too. But if we do the prayers down here, the godparents will have to drive down, and one of them lives north of San Francisco in Marin County. Oh, what names are we considering? We are leaning toward these: Holy Martyr Zoe if a girl. But we'll use the Slavic pronunciation, Zoya. St. Basil of Moscow the Fool for Christ, if a boy.

And this...

The birth will be in San Jose. But our priests are in San Francisco. Will one of them be able to come down and say the prayer from the Book of Needs? All of these worries - I need to make an appoint ment to talk with Fr. Victor.
