I remember hiding in the scary basement with my kindergarten class not knowing what to expect. And when I was outside playing, if I heard a plane buzzing overhead, I immediately ran in the house, since I was scared. Having been in the USSR under Gorbachev (with my grandmother and her peace group) and having been welcomed there by everyone we met, I can't believe that TFG is stirring things up again.

Other than that, I'm making cookies for a meeting tomorrow. Hope that you're having a nice weekend too, my friend.
