Here in NYC, a convert friend order the Meat Lovers pizza from Domino's to be delivered as late as possible since the OCA tends to feast during the night rather than the next day. The delivery guys are always really confused, but it's a great treat at 3am.

Steve...thanks for the info re: Linux. I am not there yet but could see me making the leap to Linux with a netbook in my future. I do love that Menologion though...it even accommodates old calendar. I agree an integrated calendar version would be idea...if they would integrate that into a calendar I'd drop the GOArch version.

Christopher...completely agree with you. I forgot the default installation marked the whole day as busy! And there is no universal toggle off--it's a painful day by day correction. I use the planner on my Google Calendar and get notifications reminding me to do the day's readings. That is a feature I like (and need)!

LOL on the Greek centric thing. I have learned that comes part and parcel with a Greek parish in a Greek Archdiocese. I have also learned both to expect it and not take it too seriously. One day we'll get this whole American Orthodox thing straightened out. Maybe not in my lifetime, but one day. I still would like to be Southern Orthodox though...where after the Lenten fast heavy on boiled peanuts, Fried Chicken, not lamb with lemon, is the center of the Pascha Agape meal! ;)

I use the GOA Planner download on Outlook at work. The only complaints I have are that it is Greek-centric (not a pan-Orthodox calendar like the St. Herman calendar, i.e., no high profile American, Slavic, etc, saints or feasts) and that its default is for it to be listed as an all day event that is 'Busy', so the whole day is color-coded blue as Busy. I love the fact that it has the readings printed out, but again only according to the Greek calendar of feasts/saints.

The Menologion runs in Linux, as well (using wine). I'd love to see it integrated with any calendar application.
