I have just updated the clickable map of Armenia... it is great! More than a dozen sites have been added to the map and the names of the towns have been added as well. That has been on my todo list forever.

Today I am going to mail a copy of Tom Samuelian's translation of Surp Grigor Narekatsi to a friend of mine in the USA. It is a book of prayer and lamentations and a masterful work of art. If you know anyone - Armenian or otherwise - who takes Christianity seriously, you no longer have to worry about what to get them for their birthday, Christmas, or just for the heck of it. I really think this is great literature which has the potential to at the least reach hundreds of thousands of Americans. The whole book will be online before the end of the year in preparation for 2003, which is the 1000th anniversary of the death of Surp Grigor Narekatsi. I will let you know when that is online so everyone can check it out.
