I just came across another Sannion, which is usually a momentous occasion, foreshadowing some new peripeteia in my spiritual life. I don’t think that’s what this one is gonna be, but it was still cool.

Well, we have a local propane delivery company named Sannion and Sons. Been in business for years.

Seriously? That’s awesome. Can you snap a pic next time you’re out that way?
The name’s pretty interesting. Aside from its origin and use within Greek and Italian comedy – and its association with one of the best wine regions in Italy – it developed into a common French name, including among some pretty prominent families who emigrated here in the 19th century.
