You KNOW Nadin Brzezinski Abbott?? Do you live in San Diego, eswan9? Was it through sci-fi gaming that you came to know her? She's big into that. She used to be "President" of an outfit called "Deist Games," but their website is no longer working. From the public information that's available on the internets, it appears she is about 45 years old. Does that sound right? Does she look more like Natasha Fatale or Mrs. Nikita Khrushchev?
Is she any relation to Mika?
The question should be, PJ: Is she any relation to Zbigniew Brzezinski (Mika's father)? ZB was Carter's National Security Advisor, thus the Brzezinski name carries with it the aura of expertise on . . . FOREIGN POLICY. According to the public information, Nadin is the daughter of a Szymon and Joan Brzezinski, but other than sharing a fairly common Polish surname, I don't know that she's any relation to Zbigniew.
BTW, PJ, Nadin is of eastern European Jewish heritage and she grew up in a Hispanic environment. You and she ought to talk!
How is it that she has a heavy European accent, and English is her third language, but she is native born American?
She says she was born in Mexico City, Melpomene, and she's got a Polish name, so I'm guessing she counts Polish and Spanish as her first two languages.
