Negative on the Russia dealio

Ya durachil vas, in English, means "I fooled you."

No one in Russia wants me to teach Russian to Russian kids. I wish it had been true, really. It would have rocked, and I hope to teach overseas some day. Thanks for the well-wishes, I appreciated them.

Props to Beth C and Kassie for not buying my story.

And special recognition to Jonathan Cannone, who was fooled in 2005 when I announced that my mother was expecting triplets. Don't get fooled again, Jon. It's more than a song, it's a way of life.
