Ivan goes undercover

Dear All,
Yes, Ivan went under the towel actually. For a steam vaporizer treatment. I have a lousy cold and have lost my voice. Imagine me not being able to talk. It has brought smiles to many.
Last weekend I probably should have stayed home but the thought of missing the Nahodka meeting was to much. We had such a good time with them. Ivan Shackleton will be there for convention and they are anxious for that day. He labored there for years. Gennady is so humble and a real help. Vasilisa was with us. She is missed from there as she now works and lives in Vlad.
Annette had to interpret my whisper then put it into Russian, poor thing. The bus ride was long and crowded, actually over booked. I didn't really want to share my seat for 4 hours. The poor driver was trying to sort it out while a drunk demanded a seat. Easy solution-the driver called the police and the drunk hit the trail before they came. All things work for the patient and off we went. We spent the night in a converted apt. It was nice.
The 10 or so students in the Sun. pm class participate well and are steady.
I have finished up with my classes and am relaxing for a couple of days. It went very well.
Well folks, I'm ready to hit the sack. The girls and I went for a Georgian dinner---sooo good.
Good night to all.... comrade morrie
