Happy Birthday, Maria.

Nicholas and Alexandra "Love will Keep us together" by Captain and Tenille
The IF in Captivity "Help!" by the Beatles

Another excellent choice for a song.

Didn't Mark Twain actually visit Livadia once?

Colour photos didn't exist back then.

But these more than make up for that.

Latest Tatiana Update:  She got a clean bill of health from the vet.  She's doing well for a cat now entering middle age.

Funny thing, cricket never really took off here in Canada. It's well established in other former British colonies, such as Australia, India, and South Africa, but not here.

I'm guessing that our proximity to the U.S. has something to do with it. We embraced their sports like baseball and football (not to be confused with what the Brits call football, which is soccer) instead.

Then again, the U.S. embraced Canada's national sport, hockey. So I guess it all works out.

Do they have hockey in Britain and Australia?

I agree with that.

Tatiana would be moved by this song.

More fitting to put his mind in Lenin or Stalin, IMO.
