I think I'll be posting stuff from the Russia trip in fragments, since there's way too much to try to get down in sequential order and even then I always feel like I'm just reciting a list of Stuff That Happened (We did X. Then we did Y. The trees were beautiful. The wind was cold. They brusquely confiscated the bottle from him.) and I could do that, but I'd rather try to tell stories. In manageable chunks.

That having been said, ( The Tale of Babushka's Computer )
