The author of this article is the wife of my Grandfather’s brother’s son. I can truly attest to the fact that it has been a source of personal and cultural joy for our family to share our heritage with the Munoz’s and likewise share in theirs.
I particularly enjoyed Lorenza’s description of my grandfather Tony’s (Անդրանիկ), culinary habits; his love of mezze and martinis. Indeed, I come from a family with a rich love for food, not only for our Armenian culinary traditions, but food of all kinds.
The Munoz’s are a blessed family, and it has been an enriching experience for all us to share in our respective traditions.
The Armenian Diaspora shouldn’t consider cultural excahange a “challenge”, but instead intermarriage should be embraced as an opportunity to enrichen our lives and share our time-tested values.
The excellent radio show, RadioLab, presents the fascinating story of how a 400 year old robotic monk came into existence. While its prayers may not have any power, it certainly had the ability to captivate and amaze those who gazed upon it in 17th century.

In this video, our students from Ghoghanj Childrens Center, Armine and Anahit, teach us how to take used plastic bags (which are plentiful in Armenia), and create a pretty material which can then be used to create fun and useful crafts like wallets or purses.
My students learned this technique in my wife’s class (the students call her ընկեր Անի). We are produced this in preparation for a website we’re creating called Green Future. We are going to spread awareness about Ecology amongst the youth in Armenia, and also present fun and accessible solutions.

Just witnessed an eclipse of the Moon. Annie and I watched it occur just after midnight. We couldn’t help but notice that over time it seemed to resemble a Death Star more and more.
