To Russia, with...curiosity

A quick shout out to my reader(s) in the former Soviet region! Would you mind doing me a solid and telling me who you are and why you're reading this blog? I'm dying to know, especially since it's a direct entry and not via google. How have I been graced with such exotic readership? I thank you in advance and send virtual blinis and fancy European-style kisses your way.

xoxo

P.S. I moderate my comments so it won't show up til I give the okay, just so's you know.
