For those of you wondering why OrthoCuban has been a little irregular in his posting lately, see the photograph at the right. Yes, that is OrthoCuban with our family’s newest grandchild.

Earthquake in Papua New Guinea
A 6.3 earthquake struck Papua New Guinea yesterday morning. This continues the string of earthquakes that have been hitting populated areas on a regular basis for the past several months. The volcano in Iceland continues to spew ash and lava, grounding nearly 20,000 flights in Europe and making it necessary for the President to cancel […]

Quenya (Tolkien elf) Paschal greeting

Yes, someone has translated the traditional greeting–Christ is Risen! Truly He is Risen!–into Quenya. Ortanne Laivino! Anwa ortanne Laivino! From an Orthodox website, here […]
