We're Off with the Cossacks

Fall quarter has taken off and we're already into the thick-of it at Evergreen.  Russia and Eurasia promises to be one of the most challenging courses I've taken thus far.  The teachers and many of the students are well versed in the Russian language and have travelled to the land of Rus on multiple excursions.  I've been to Tijuana.  Does that count for something? 

Fun fact:  Russia has thirteen distinct time zones.  Even Mussolini would have had a difficult time getting the trains to run on time in a country this expansive. 

I'm about to purchase a video camera and will post some videos of Evergreen.  Many of you have asked me about Evergreen and what goes on there.  Lots of drumming and occupying of buildings.  A magically expensive place.  See you soon.
