Russian roulette

Here is the latest (catch up on Project Natalia) of my Adventures with Nadia. To be honest, with summer here, I'm starting to lose interest a bit. Figuring that I'll go for broke I made mention of making a lot of money and spending some to buy a new car. Hopefully this will perk her interest, I also commented that I thought she'd be coming to the US at some point since she wrote me first. Finally, family names have been changed to protect the innocent when the Russian Mafia comes to hunt me down.

And a good morning to you Natalia!

Sorry it took so long to get back to you but things have been a little hectic here the past few days. But things have settled down and it’s a nice long holiday weekend. We’re celebrating Memorial Day in the US, a holiday to honor all the men and women who died while serving in the Armed Forces. Considering I’m ex-military it’s a very important holiday for me. It is the official start of the summer here in America, there are parades and most families spend the day together cooking outside on the grill, opening up their pools and generally having a good time. I’m going to be playing some golf with friends and a maybe a business associate or two. Even though it’s a holiday I’ve still gotta make the big bucks.

Very nice pictures, thank you for them. You should have been able to see a whole bunch of mine on the site you met me on. I believe I had like 10 up. They’re pretty recent and some are me doing the things that I love like climbing mountains, hanging out with my friends and enjoying myself.

You’d like to know a bit about my family? They all live pretty close by, except my brother Wayne who lives near Boston. He loves living near the big city and its fun to go up an visit occasionally. However, he is thinking about moving to Florida. As an aside, Florida does have a city called St. Petersburg too! My sister, Kimmy, lives two towns over and my Mom and Dad (Eleanor & Gene) are about a 20 minute car ride. We’re all very close and love to spend a lot of time together. A few weeks ago we all took in a ball game; it was a great family moment.

I do know some Russians men and women, and have a good friend, Vlad, from the Moscow area. He immigrated over here about 10 years ago and will get his citizenship very shortly. He’s pretty excited about it. Why did I return an email to someone in Russia? To be honest, there is no particular reason. I figured it’d be fun to talk to someone overseas, also since you wrote me I assumed that you come to the US often. But it looks like that is not the case.

Alas, I have to get running I want to meet up with a buddy of mine and spend too much money on a new car. But hey its summer and it’ll be FUN to drive.

Dude, people actually fall for this? Read her letter, it's obviously a form message. But she did bring up buying a phone and the cost of calling the US. Hopefully soon she'll bring up wanting some $$$. Natalia did send some more pictures, eventually I'll post them. She said...
