Family:

• Our wedding website - I was married to Juhi Ryo on September 14, 2002.

• Our son Andrew Hyunsoo Kaboski was born on February 3, 2004.

• St. Monica's Crisis Nursery - information on donating to our crisis nursery, which we hope to open in the fall of 2004.  Juhi will manage most of the day-to-day operations.  

• Karen and Dave's Website: My sister Karen, brother-in-law Dave, and nephew Nathaniel also live in Columbus.  Their website includes cute pictures of Nathaniel and my niece (and godchild) Elizabeth.

Religion:

Juhi and I are Catholic and we attend Immaculate Conception Parish in Columbus and occassionally daily mass at St. Thomas More Newman Center at Ohio State.  I am currently using spare time on the side to research and eventually write a book on economics for Catholics that merges economics with Catholic social teaching. 

  Some related links of interest are:

• The readings for Daily Mass are available here from the US Conference of Catholic Bishops.  The psalms, readings and prayers for the Liturgy of the Hours are also available. 
• Two beautiful places for silent retreats are Gethsemane Abbey in western Kentucky and New Camaldoli Hermitage in Big Sur, California.
• Some Catholic learning resources on the web include: a searchable Catechism of the Catholic Church, an online Catholic bible, an online version of the Catholic Encyclopedia (unfortunately because of copyright issues it's the 1908 edition) the Vatican, and the US Conference of Bishops.  A good link for Catholic social teachings is here.
• Two wonderful Catholic organizations that reach out to the poor are Catholic Charities (here in the US) and Catholic Relief Services (in other countries).    The Catholic Network of Volunteer Service is a good site for people interested in doing volunteer or mission work.

 The two sources for Wisconsin sports are: Milwaukee-Journal Sentinel and the Green Bay Gazette (although both have recently gotten cheap and started charging membership fees to read their second-rate sportswriting commentaries on the Packers....the Brewers commentaries are still free of charge though.  Hmmm...imagine that.)

• www.jasonzahn.com - my friend Jason Zahn runs all sorts of games, including a daily gameshow, sports pools, and video games and others.  Juhi beat out people from all over the world to win the GameShow for August, 2002 (check out the Hall of Fame) and promptly retired from playing, her life being completely fulfilled.
