I'm Baaahhh-aaaaack

Hi! Sorry I went AWOL for so long . . . if anyone out there still bothers to check this page out, well, there will be some new stuff on it, hopefully semi-consistently.

First, a quick life update:

I'm back in Moscow after a month in the oh-so-sunny U.S., where I saw lots of friends and family members and it was overall pretty awesome, so the whole windy, snowy, snow-blowy wintrousness that I've come back to is not my favorite, but hey, I'm settling in I suppose, and hopefully, before I know it, the sun will be back paying at least weekly visits to Muscovites and inviting us all out to play.

Now, my little tid-bit for today: a personals ad put out in the Moscow Times that I thought to be . . . well, lots of things. You judge for yourself:

"I'm a Doctor from Nagoya, Japan in my mid seventy's seeking a kind and attractive woman under the age of 40 to spend my life with. I speak English very well as a second language. I'm director of my private clinic and have a beautiful home. My interests are travelling, movies and more. I'm a former Judo champion and taught it during my post graduate study in the United States. My ideal woman would have short blond hair and be around 5 feet tall. I also have visited Moscow many times and am familiar with the people and their culture. If you are interested Please contact me in whatever way is most convenient. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, [name, e-mail addresses, and phone number . . . which I didn't think appropriate to put here]."

I don't know why I decided to post that---I guess it just struck me as intriguing for some reason. Personals ads in general are pretty fascinating, I think . . . don't you?

More soon (hopefully)!
