Ned, you presume greatly in thinking others will know what "Mt. Athos" signifies. I like that. You're a gentleman.

I'm just fascinated by stuff like this. Like the Russian Orthodox Diocese of Alaska.

I sorta wanna become epen-pals with a monk. We could exchange jam recipes, and chutney by mail.

They get all the scenic spots, those monks.

and yet ... they die virgins.

They could have loved before taking up vows.

And I think they can become regular priests. Greek priests can marry.

Time for Jon W to finally start up the cult.
