I was unable to watch the Capitals game last night–although I was getting texts with score updates throughout the night.
My wife and I were invited to an event at Vice President Biden’s home — with His All Holiness Bartholomew I.
It was a very special night for us — Bartholomew is the leader of the Orthodox Church on a global basis; he is a holy man — he is also called the “Green Archbishop” as he has been an outspoken critic of polluters of our planet for many years.
Lynn and I were honored to be able to spend quality time with VP Biden; his wife — Dr Biden; and the Biden family; I also was ” blessed” personally by Bartholomew and I mentioned Alex Ovechkin to him; and there was a special prayer offered in his name as well!
While it was a wonderful night — and I feel blessed — the Caps did lose and I did learn that our VP is a Flyers fan. I was tempted to start the DC based chant about the Flyers — but bit my tongue. Not the right venue at all:-).
Here is information on Bartholomew I. A most impressive and great man, indeed.
