I've gotten bad about posting....

...I think partly because I never get any feedback so then I think I'm just writing to myself.
Ridiculously cold weather like this always takes me back to my time in Russia--and since my car decided it wasn't going to start today due to the -20 temp, I decided to spend some time reading that journal. It's always fun and interesting to look back on the things you thought were a challenge at the time....or even looking back at what challenges you had that no one could ever prepare themselves for.
Like ordering eggs AND bacon from room service at a Hotel in Moscow...I think that is my current favorite story. It was so dramatic, and watching the girl try to do it (this is like day 3 in Russia) was one of the most hilarious things I've ever seen---and after all that she didn't even get her bacon. It's funny to me both the things I selectively/most distinctly remember, and the things I decided to journal about. Lenin is NOT one of them..repressed/suppressed.
