I am happy to report, with this rather unconventional blog posting, that I am getting married on January 12. My companion is Kalliopi Petrou, a lyrical singer. There will be no huge party involved in the event, as Kalliopi and I have lived together for some time already and the ceremony will be minimalistic. None the less, we do give importance to this common decision, so much so that I thought it would be a good thing to broadcast in public - here.
Kalliopi is younger than me, but we seem to be a good match in a number of ways. We share a love of music, of astronomy and stargazing, and of course, we both love Greece and its wonderful beaches. We share political and moral ideas about the world. We both like to oversleep. And a number of other things. And Kalliopi is easy to love: she is beautiful, smart, and she has a lovely voice and quite a talent as a musician and as an actor. In short, even if I were a total moron (which I am not!), chances would be that we'd stick together!
The practical aspect of this announcement is that in the next couple of weeks there will probably be scarce blogging from my side, as we will leave on the 13 for some relaxed time away. But if you know me you will bet that I will still be looking this space for comments, and maybe some occasional overtime posting!
Funnily, as I announced the above news to some friends, one of them (who does not know Kalliopi) was quick to google out of the web this concert program. It is for a concert we offered in occasion of a conference in Warsaw last year. It's a nice memory, indeed. I thought I'd share it with you here...
Below I decided to add a few pictures of the two of us...
