Return

So I've decided to use a trip to Russia as an excuse to revive this blog from its dormancy.  Audra and I are here until August while she completes the historian's rite of passage:  archival research.  Since I have few obligations apart from keeping our apartment clean and our bellies full, I thought it would be good to do some writing.

For the next months, I'll write two different sorts of posts for this blog.  For the first sort, I'll record and reflect on our experiences in Russia, although not as regularly as on Audra's blog.  For the second sort, I hope to write, on a semi-regular basis, a mini homily on the lectionary texts.  I intend the latter to serve mainly as a form of self-discipline and as a way of continuing my preparation for Holy Orders.  The former will form a travelogue proper, which I hope will be of interest to others.
