Greetings, All You Russians

I see from the stat's page that many of my Russian friends are checking in on Spin Easy Time.  Thanks for that, and as they say in New Orleans, "I hope y'all pass a good time!"

I would greet you in your own language, but all I can say is:  "shto eto?" followed by "eto karandash."  I have seen many wonderful Russian movies though, and I will tell my non-Russian readers that Russian is a much more beautiful language than you think.  It is actually much more melodious then its reputation.  I think that the "no articles" thing gives it a bad name.  ("What is?" Answer: "is pencil.")

That and all of those various sh and ch sounds.  Russian is not as bad as Dutch though, or, God forbid, Swiss German.  Try it sometime!
