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.

Don't tell me everyone is missing the joke. I took his words to be literal. Russian ladies are cold as in the temperature and distant as in far away from here. I thought it was funny.
And I just saw Tony's response that makes this post completely unnecessary. And yet I do not delete it...
