All this stuff finally came in the mail today. The books from Amazon.com, both of which you can order on the left hand side. The other shipment was from an Ebay seller, directly from Ukraine.

I finally got a Yuschenko TAK! scarf!

Now, before I go to bed, I would like to give a special shout-out to Bryan McRoberts. Starting on March 15, Lebanonwire.com will become available by subscription only, and he donated money to me so that I could subscribe and continue to bring the latest news from that region to you all. He and his family definitely have the love of this crazy political circle!
