Ha. Try being married to a Brit, like I am! Most people mistakenly believe that we share a common language and cultural references with *those people* across the pond. But after watching my husband watch CRICKET matches (which last for four days with tea breaks), and repeatedly hearing him say things like "alu-min-i-um" - rather than the CORRECT pronunciation, "aluminum" - you finally accept the cultural and linguistic gulf between you. Still, we're very lucky to have our exotic spouses, aren't we? Sending my most positive thoughts to you and Sophia. xx Annie You think a Russian is an exotic life partner for an American?

Ha.

See this video of The Stooge (my kid) at the convention. Hang in there until you hear the Ladies in love with Anakin routine and the Ladies in love with Leah bit. It should give you a good laugh.

She liked the music I was playing one day and asked who it was. I replied it was the English band Lush, and she expressed interest in acquiring their CDs. A few days later we were shopping together and I caught her at the cash register about to buy a disc by the Canadian band Rush instead. In graduate school I was a host for a new student from Japan.
