But if you have really hot shoes, why should you take them off?

Good article. This gives me the understanding that I needed. Do you think that all will go well or do you think surprises will crop up?

I am English, but I have an horror of dirty shoes in a clean house.

I wish more of us British would adopt the Russian view of the matter.

Alas, I’m already married and she’s American. Some of my friends may be interested, though. Before I pass the info along, do you know whether the product is returnable if it proves unsatisfactory? Any warranties?

To dream not of running a country but to have a vodka named after you!

Thanks for the memories. I had occasion to take Delta 30 and 31 a number of times in 04 and 05 as a monitor for the HEU Transparency program (Google it for an interesting read, if you wonder what that is). The flights home were always peaceful until Delta decided to more strictly enforce the drinking rules, as mass napping would ensue a couple of hours after the party started. When the parties were no longer allowed, 8 hours of conversation replaced the naps, making it a bit more difficult for me to catch my nap. Not complaining, mind you, just making an observation. Sometimes I think about and miss my co-workers at Novouralsk, Seversk (near Tomsk), and Zelenogorsk (near Krasnoyarsk).

Gleb Makarov presently resides and teaches ballroom dance in Seattle, Washington, and is very sought after as a teacher. He is incredibly funny as he is talented.
