Listening to Oksana teach body parts to the baby in Russian. Are you married to a Russian lady?

Just picked Brandon up from a 'sleep-over' with his cousins. He wanted to know how many days until 'Russian Christmas'. Jan 7 and counting.

The countdown to '09 has begun. Champagne is room temp (yuk). She hates black-eyed peas and collards. Happy New Year!! 1 hr to go in Russia

Snovum Godum! Ruble around 30.5/dollar. Maybe a good time to go. Brandon made it to 2315 last night. Woke him up at 3 min before midnight!!

Just connected to Russia using Fring app and sipdiscount on iPhone. Call quality was acceptable. Cost per minute was zero. YMMV.

Just got back from taking Oksana to the dentist. Nicole was great! Ate Cheerios and smiled while Mom had her checkup.

@Kremlin_gov_ru Great idea Timothy ... thanks

Trying out Tweetie on the Iphone. Attached a photo of Oksana, but the link doesn't show up in the text. http://twitpic.com/12nrv

So much for that experiment. Seems to work fine!

WTF ?? And I thought the ruble was dropping!! http://bit.ly/7vE3

@travelallrussia IMF aid was offered/refused in 1998. Too many conditions to prevent funneling aid to Kremlin politico. Why now? ruble = 33

Any suggestions for places to stay in Sochi? We're planning a side trip during our visit to Krasnodar.

Any suggestions for places to take my young son in Moscow?

Wife and kids are returning from Russia today!! Long travel time. 5 airports, 3 flights ... but good to have them home soon :)

Tomorrow ends the long holiday season in Russia. Sure everyone will be in a happy mood. Why don't they move part of the holidays to April?

eBay coming to Russia. http://bit.ly/cacMGi
