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...

They passed an old woman who was just opening the door of a brown Cadillac. An old man was already sitting in the passenger seat. The car had a personalized plate with the letters “J-U-S-P-R-A-Y”.
“That stuff work?” Israel said to her.
“‘Scuse me?” the little old woman said, clutching her keys.
“The spray. Does it keep them away?”
“Keep who away?” She looked confused.
“I gotcha.” Israel gave her a conspiratorial wink.

It's a semi-precious gem named after Czar Alexander II. It's unusual in that it is green in sunlight, and a sort of reddish purple in artificial light . . . beautiful! My wife had a ring with a large Alexandrite stone as its center.

One of my treasured possessions is an Alexandrite ring my husband gave me.
