on speaking russian......

ok, so today was my lincoln county diabetes support group......and the topic was disaster preparedness......for which i was not nearly prepared as i should have been.....i completely forgot the potential for an evacuation of that entire county should there be a leak in the bio-weapons supply depot in madison county...right next door.....oy....but i digress........my cell phone rang as i was presenting....and my precocious group wanted to know who i put on hold.......corellia my favorite travel agent with a quote on stephan trip home and trip to st petersburg.......and wouldn't you know......one of my support group crowd was a russian eavesdropper during the cold war....he learned russian at boot camp well enough that he was assigned to listen in on radio communications.............small world....he told me he regrets that he never actually ever got to go to russia.....and he told me this in english.....and in russian.......
