Here are the questions that you can quote and answer for ease: 1. Real first name or Nameday Name (this like everything is optional)
2. What jurisdiction your parish is in. (OCA, Greek, etc.) 3. Status: Cradle Orthodox, Convert, Catecumen, Serious Inquirer (by this we mean that you have started attending an Orthoodox Church and meeting with the Priest or someone they designate to teach you about the faith) 4.

My name is Don.
My patron Saint is John The Apostle.
I'm a cradle Orthodox, baptized in an Antiochian Church, but am currently working my way into one of two Greek Orthodox Churches (there's a HUGE cathedral here, but I attend at the smaller parish).
I'm single, never married, and am in the process of adopting a 13 year old boy... a very long process through fostering, but worth it (he's been with me for two years).
We have a VERY playful 15 year-old cocker-beagle mix named Barney.
Swimming's big around here, as is reading, chess, playing card games, and for ONE of us--video games (which I refer to as electronic thumb-twiddling!).
