The Hunt for Red [Blog Followers]

I have more blog views from Russia than from Canada. Really? More Russian scientists are following this than my own family? (Maybe they'll have some good tips for my trip to Russia next month  - or maybe they are cracking codes embedded in my post '24 things I did when I was 24' to bring down NASA. Plausible.)

It'll be an interesting time to show up at this party: Putin began his third presidential term May 7, and there's been some "excitement" about it in Moscow.  And the adventure's already begun - before my Russian visa, I'd never been asked if I had "any special skills, training or experience related to fire-arms and explosives or to nuclear matters, biological or chemical substances."

Luckily, they didn't ask me about my 'special skill' of raiding the clearance section at Target nor my 'experience' stealing ideas from Pinterest . . . I may have been in trouble.

18 sleeps til Russia!

    1. Thanks Ed! I will try to come up with a profile about how you regret not pursuing a surgical residency in Seattle with a bunch of good-looking single doctors. Kuo's Anatomy: Houston.
