Run, I'm being taught communism
Flora is teaching me Russian. Today she printed out the Russian alphabet with a pronunciation guide for each letter and gave me a small lesson - I learned how to say "hedgehog" and "bug." I wish my keyboard typed in Russian. The letters are heavy and thick and beautiful.
Flora is so entertaining. When she has to walk in the sun she comes back sweaty and says "Now I am wet like a frog." I love the foreigns.

hahaha. that's funny. our old landlord had a russian wife and their small son, Nicholas, had a heavy accent. He used to call me Tracia. But he said it like this......Trrraaaciahh. I wanted to change my name legally so that everyone would have to say it that way. It makes my ordinary boring name sound magical.
