Tonight was the vigil service of The Very Rite Father Michel Trigg. He died of Parkinson's disease, and while he looked peaceful, saintly, and beautiful, the disease had worn him away. If you had ever met Father Michel though, you couldn't remember him like that, nor like tonight, peaceful, but white and asleep. He was lively and brilliant, he went to Oxford where he got his P.H.D but I couldn't give his life justice in one blog post. The soul of a saintly man cannot be encapsulated in words. He was the last gentleman of a little thought of era, too little thought of if men like Father Michel lived then.
When we first came to St. Michel's Orthodox Church, I formed my opinion of Father Michel quickly, when I was about 5. After having observed Father Michel, I said sagely, "He's very handsome!" While I pity anyone who had and has to listen to my rhetorical skills, I think I will stick with my original opinion.

Good Morning, good checkities
and welcome to checkity grammer 101.
In today's class we are examining checkity grammer.
Checkity-fairly ambiguous, but it denotes happy, good, or approval. Can be used to end sentences in the place of a period. (The Red Sox won today, checkity)
Nongua- Think not checkity. non-G-wa
Songua- L.D. still hasn't entirely figured this one out yet, it however appears to be a less common form of Chonuga.
Chongua-personage ( Thank you good chounga)
And Most Importantly
Foozie:
Back ago there was a horrible outcry about the inadequacies of the name of cat. This event was also know as the Black Plague, but the history books have somewhat twisted the actual truth. Unfortunately I was not born till somewhat... later. However, I could not let another generation of cat * privileged suffer, thus the word Foozie. Notice the crooning capabilities of such a word. Be happy. All cats are Foozie. Many things that are fluffy or fuzzy are Foozies. But not all Foozies are fuzzy. Some are silken.
* My cat strongly objects to the word owner as being a down right lie, and says my life will be forfeit if I do not amend my ways.
