Leaving for Russia

After a month or so of delays (mostly from the visa) I leave for Moscow this Sunday. Yeah, its Halloween, but I think I outgrew trick or treating years ago. Well, its really because I doubt anyone would give me any candy if I did. I should get to Moscow a day before the US election. Hopefully, Bush will not be back!
