Two weeks ago, western journalists swept into Tripoli on a wave of euphoria as the city welcomed the NATO/TNC with open arms. Not a shot was fired as the city where just a few weeks previously, millions of people had turned out to support Muammar al-Qathafi, came out to celebrate. Then why is the NATO/TNC […]

Sveta and I (and Boza of course) are getting things together on this last day in the village. It makes me kinda sad and I really do not want to leave. But we have things to get caught upon at home in Moscow and since it is a new school year in Russia. I have […]

I was thinking about sunflowers and a reservoir that Sveta, Boza and I stumbled upon yesterday…Lets start with the reservoir. In Russia you do not have signs everywhere telling you what is here […]

Sveta yelled yesterday from the yard at the village house. I ran out to see what was up and found Sveta and Boza hugging a tree and a bad attitude snake being very aggressive with them. It seems that Boza heard the snake first as it crawled toward Sveta as she was reading. Sveta knew […]
