Church Picnic

Today was Holy Trinity Cathedral's picnic. The event was held at Fort Mason, and it was a lovely late summer day: The Sun was warm, the breeze was gentle and cold. Athanasia and I were in charge of children's games: Bean bag toss, hot potato, duck duck goose, tug-o-war, egg-spoon race, and a pinata to cap it off. The pinata was crazy. It was made of tough cardboard instead of paper mache so after a a couple of dozen hard hits with an aluminum rod Athanasia just reached up and tore it open. The kids didn't mind.

Food: I had three hamburgers, one sausage and 5 beers (Thank you, Matushka Elaine, for bringing Guinness for me. That was very thoughtful.)

In other news, Archbishop Dimitri of Dallas was commemorated during the liturgy in place of our now gone Metropolitan. Glory to God for all things! Perhaps, we will now be able to get on with the business of being the Church.
