DATELINE: July 28, 2008, Moscow
Been away so long I hardly knew the place
Gee, it's good to be back home
Leave it till tomorrow to unpack my case
Honey disconnect the phone
I'm back in the USSR
You don't know how lucky you are, boy
Beatles, Back in the USSR from the The White Album
How things have changed since 1968. We won't be flying BOAC and hopefully the paper bag won't be on our knees. While Moscow is still in Russia, it isn't in the Soviet Union. Lenningrad is now St. Petersburg. And Moscow is the most expensive city in the world. Which is why the staff of Charity Governance picked Moscow as our vacation spot this year. There is no challenge like making a weak dollar go as far as it can go--most likely we will be eating free food samples at Gum instead of lunch. With all the change, hopefully the Ukraine girls will still knock us out.
Posts will resume after August 12, unless we get inspired and are snow-bound (more likely rain).
