I had no idea if I would ever get back to Russia or not. Job prospects did not look good, and assignments would take me to other unknown places. I accepted an assignment in Calgary, Canada, only to find out days before starting that the client had changed his mind and was going in a different direction. Just after that one cancelled, a call came in asking if I'd be interested in an assignment in Moscow, then moving on to Tobolsk, in western Siberia. Assignments don't pop up at me anymore, and, having had some prior experience with Russian clients, I decided to accept. Maybe this will be my swan song, if it lasts. After this I'll teach, write and maybe take up fishing.

So here I am in Moscow, working in the client's office, my own apartment within walking distance, but only minutes away from anyplace in the city via the subway.
Winter isn't far off so I'll try to enjoy what little good weather is left.
