Happy International Women's Day!

To me, and to all the ladies out there. I hope all of you have someone to salute you Soviet-style, with a tiny bouquet of flowers enhanced with baby's breath, green tissue paper, clear plastic and a big bow, or to cook you dinner (perhaps makaroni po flotski with a beet salad on the side?) and maybe even clear up the dishes afterward. This is the day to understand that you are special and appreciated, my XX friends, so that you can maybe deal with being put upon, abused, and taken for granted the other 364 (or 365 in leap years).

S prazdnikom! (Happy holiday!)
