Normally, I am a laid-back, mellow, easy-going sort of person, and I had no problems accepting the hospitality of Russians, Ukrainians, White Russians, and Moldavians, but this was, uh, dead fish.

I however got the impression I had better eat, and so for the only time in my adult life, I ate dead fish.

I remember reading that PJ knew some Russian so here is a ping if not for a translation but at least for general interest.

I was wondering where you were, Frank. Haven’t had a ping from you in a long while.

Your essay is intriguing and with a tiny bit of imagination, all sorts of nefarious scenarios come to mind—tracking devices, microfilm, mistaken identities, ..... SPIES .......

I dunno how I forgot you, sir, when you’re the first I should remember.

Anyway, there’s more.
