So last night my wife is looking through the St. Isaac Skete catalog and sees the icon of St. John of Shanghai/San Francisco and suddenly asks me, "Is this San Francisco the..um..real San Francisco?"
Not realizing she was looking at the catalog, I respond, "What do mean? What are you reading?"
She replies, "There's this icon in here of someone named John of San Francisco. Can anything holy come from San Francisco, let alone California???"
of course, apologies to those here who live/are from the Golden State.
