1. A good land
Wherever you may go, Mikhail
However far you may journey,
Because you bring me with you,
The land to which your feet takes you,
Will, with my blessing,
Always be a good land.

Tomorrow morning, Mikhail is leaving on a jetplane on a trip to the U.S. of A. He will be visiting his mother's family in Bismarck, North Dakota (the only state in the Union with a falling population) after making a short side-visit to Disneyland LA.
I am not sending him off at the airport tomorrow, but promised him that I shall be waiting for him when he returns in a couple of weeks. I hate airport goodbyes, and the drive home alone would be torture, ya know?
I took him out for a couple of hours today. I wanted it to be just me and him, but after a while, I decided to call Heche. I was becoming a little quiet thinking of him leaving and Heche would provide the infotainment to deal with Mr. 'Chatterbox' Mikhail.
We managed to take some pictures before we finally dropped him off at Gina's place in the afternoon. Pictures always tell stories, if you listen to them carefully enough...

I didn't feel like writing at all today. But it is sometimes good to share a little sadness. Because someone extremely smart once told me...
22. The Gates of Love
Love is not all joy.
It is also to learn how to cry.
So disdain not sadness,
For of all the gates of the House,
It is through Love
That sadness enters
And departs.

wa min Allah at-taufiq
Hate has no place in Islam
Love will show the Way

Those are two diverse views of the U.S.!!! No doubt M. Will return with many stories to tell you and Hans.
Hi Denise!
I don't wanna sound like a hill billy, but I reckon I prefer Bismark ND to the big cities... We will see what Mika says when he gets back!
