Now before you all decide that I've REALLY gone over the edge - I *may* have misspelled the name (my son was not ABSOLUTELY certain of the spelling) - but there really are something called Yu-Gi-Oh cards and cartoons that are quite popular among some of American youth - my young sons among them.
I bring it up because I was pondering tonight - while my 11-year-old son was explaining to Olya all about the Yu-Gi-Oh defenses and attacks and affects tonight - how it is that Olya could have possibly imagined herself learning all about Yu-Gi-Oh monsters when we were discussing life in America. It was, somehow, something I left out of the conversation --smile--. Yet, she was (as always) completely gracious and demonstrated great interest and patience - and my sons love it that she is always attentive to their interests.
Just a very small point, really - but one that proves to me (again) how blessed and fortunate I am to have found such a warm and wonderful lady.
Cheers Everyone,
- Dan
