last friday hinkson was out of session and tim was out of the city on a retreat, so me and silas and 8 senior girls went to starbucks in the center of the city. now, just a little education on what a "starbucks run" looks like here in moscow. from my apartment door to the door of starbucks, it was a 58 minute commute - i timed it. we went by metro and foot, switching lines on the metro underground and eventually coming back up above ground near the center. in one of the underground transitions, while i was trying to get the stroller on the escalator (i know, sounds dangerous, but its the only way to do it and i've actually gotten really good at it!) a fight between two babushkas broke out. one of them had been trying to hold the crowd back to give me some room to get the stroller on the escalator, and the other one, not seeing what the first was doing came pushing through which did not sit well with the first babushka. yelling, pushing...all for my little man! we had a much more uneventful trip from there on out, and an absolutely wonderful time at starbucks. here are the senior girls (minus three) and silas at starbucks.
in the footsteps of the greats, like michael scofield (prison break) and andy dufresne (shawshank redemption) silas is breaking out...i think he has been working diligently on this hole for a long time. what started as a loose little thread, then became a hole the size of a pea, is now something that silas will be able to fit through soon if i don't do something about it quick. i'm open to any suggestions on how to patch this.
