I can relate to that. I would have said the same thing to someone, if they told me this prior to August 2003,

but I guess life is truly full of surprises!

Wow, congratulations AngryFisherman

If someone had told me this time last year, that I would have gone to Ukraine twice by the end of this month - I would never have believed them and wouldn't have had any clue why

Yeah, people three years ago would not believe I'm doing what I'm doing now, either.

I, for one, had always believed in "organic" ways of meeting people such as school or work.......but not personal ads. Always thought that being involved in personal ads was either for sleazy people or desparados.

So, what am I doing now? Writing all these girls from dating and marriage sites. Not only that, but this has been taking away time/resources from me doing other things, that I normally do........

Had lost a bit of my knowledge of the Russian language over the past few years. Suddenly, it's 1995 again, as far as the level of last of what I knew. Plus my geographic knowledge has greatly improved as well.

As for my trip to Minsk in '95, it was a very pleasant memory, three years ago. Now it's "Get back, recapture the magic, and bring it to an even higher level.

Plus I never heard of Sumy before, until the past few months. Yet here I am holding in my hand a street map of Sumy, which I in fact had to order from South Carolina.
