Hey everybody! (And especially Tony.) I met Paige at Pauls book signing in LA. She's warm, friendly, engaging, (a bit quiet at the restaurant as she hadn't met anybody else there) and she has a lovely smile.
Her family is from the Ukraine -- the "bread basket" of Russia.
All the Eastern European people I've met and come to know over the years -- not just Russians, but Eastern Europeans in general -- beginning with a boy I knew whose family escaped from Hungary during the 1956 Revolution (we were in 5th-grade together, and I helped him learn English) . . . were good, warm, friendly people.
Stereotypes are so stupid.

I will have you know Ken that I knew 2 Russians personally. They were always trying to get Moose and Squirrel. So don't tell me about the Russians!
Also... I was making a play on words about how its cold in Russia and far away. (Cold and distant).
I had a family of Ukrainians live two doors down, wonderful people. I even went to a Ukranian Easter service once. I didn't understand a thing they were saying even though they swore it was Catholic.
And I am not stereotyping. I am sure Paige is a lovely person...even though she is probably a spy.
