sitting on pennsylvania ave

We may not know what country we are living in, but it's Friday, and at our house–or hotel–that means pizza. Last week we walked across the street to Papa John's, got the largest pizza they had and kids ate it in about five minutes. Dave and Elisabeth will not be surprised by this, when we come over on Friday, they don't double the pizza order, they square it. Last week, after vanity-sized pizza tragedy, Peter and I had to have cereal with red wine–c'mon it was Friday!–for dinner. So this week we walked across a different street to Trader Joe's and got all the ingredients for a white flour/pepperoni and a whole wheat/mushroom-onion-bell pepper. In Niger we missed Trader Joe's so much. Since it's our only grocery store here within walking distance (I don't count Dean and Deluca), I hope we are good and sick of it by the time we leave. I wonder what pizza Friday will mean in Moscow.

Barnes and Noble is killing me, so today we got library cards.

    Just caught up with the website today, first time this summer: I MISS DINA!!!! The only one of you I didn’t get to see…no fair!
    Re: Perfumes: the Guide- I just heard the other day that the best way to get squirrels out of your attic, should you have that unfortunate problem, is to spray some Old Spice up there; apparently they have an aversion to it…hmmm?
    (The conversation must have been along the lines of one of those “yep, it’s gonna be a tough winter this year….” that you start hearing every blinkin’-August around here)

    It’s possible in Moscow you’ll start having Friday pirog with meat or cabbage. It’s just Russian pizza!

    My daughter goes back each time heavily weighted down with books. Now that Katya and Natalia are reading, it is very important to buy and bring everything as there’s no library to go to for American books.
