Happy Women’s Day!
Awesomest holiday ever. Tony gave me a bottle of the incredibly high quality, $120-a-bottle absinthe we’ve been ogling for two years at Azbuka Vkusa, and I finally got out to a public banya (steam baths) with my excellent girlfriend Marina. Good but strange experience. Got beaten with oak twigs in what’s got to be a pagan-remnant-ritual/ massage while in the sauna. Jumped in a tub of ice water afterward. Drank lots of tea and ate very good chocolate. Want to write more but falling asleep at the keyboard…
