I was sitting around remembering when my oldest daughter was so sad, she missed her life on the Chechnyian border region of Russia. And I tried really hard to find her Russian things to do. We chased the Antonov around the world trying to get her to see the worlds largest plane - Russian of course. We went to Russian clubs, spas, chow halls, any place Russian where sailors did not hang out! And finally, I hit on a winner.
Irina Slutskya, a Russian Olympic skater and World Champion was her idol. But, likelihood of getting near her? Zero!
So, I - through an incredible act of hacking, I was able to get her personal eMail address. And I sent her a short message explaining about my daughter and her homesickness for mother Russia. I asked if at a certain performance, she would be willing to come out and talk to my daughter. And she did!
Of course all my daughter did was sob and cling to her. But, Irina - I owe you and one day - it is dinner on me!
So, from Irina Slutskya's program: Cotton Eyed Joe, without Irina however - LOL!
Or perhaps you would prefer with Irina?
