We went to a spy-themed birthday party for our friend Svetlana, recently. It was so fun, and creative! We were a couple of the only people who spoke English as a first language, which was sometimes a challenge, but definitely added to our mystique. It’s not like you can pop your head over and get in on a conversation when everyone else is speaking Russian, and all you know is Thank you, and the colloquial way to say Bye Bye. Everyone was patient and kind to us, though, loved our costumes, and I tell you, these people can bring on the food and disco like nobody’s business! I’ve been trying to talk Joe into dying his hair blonde – what do you think?
