Good stuff......I like Eastern Orthodox :-)
But gee, when you said you had posted to your blog, I thought you meant something 'real' :-)

I really tried to read it all but I had to give up at about Paganism!
Welcome back by the way! Oh and I'm with the Welsh?
Is there any wonder why cows have always been my favorite animal. I love this list. My face hurts from smiling.
You have a thing about cows; are you sure you're not Welsh?
