Why so long?

It's been a while... but Dasha and I have good excuses. We're on the homestretch at school... I'm in year five and in the masters program and working on 60 or more pages (in Russian) about the history of the marching drummer.

Dasha is in YEAR SIX (good grief) and is about to become a 'specialist' (somewhere between a bachelor's and a master's) and is writing a large written work as well.

So... we'll try to be better about the blogging. We'll see how it goes.
