To Russia With Love

According to the analytical statistics related to this website, 42 people in Russia have read my blog today. I am surprised, and also confused, flattered, stymied and stunned by that information. So many questions come to mind, like how did they find me and why would they bother and do they even get my sense of humor? I have not read any Russian blogs and cannot imagine doing so. In fact, I am almost 100% ignorant of Russian culture. All I know is that they drink vodka and in winter they wear those big fur hats that look like erasers. I also enjoyed Dr. Zhivago, but that was years ago. I suppose I'd better brush up on this stuff if I want to keep those readers. Until then, I will translate what I have written thus far into their language to make them feel welcome:

Поэтому многие вопросы приходят на ум, как того, каким образом они не нашла меня и почему они раздражает и они даже получить у меня такое чувство юмора? Я не читал любой русский blogs и не можем представить себе такую возможность. По сути, я почти 100% знают русской культуры.

I love how "blog" is still "blog" in Russian!
