I got back from Russia to find that my ephemeral deliberations had been
immortalized in the message header.  Thanks guys.

I was in Russia to help review a grant for the Church of the Transfiguration
and complex on Kizhi Island in northwest Russia. The church is a gigantic
18th century log structure with more than a dozen onion domes that is truly a
world monument.  It took 2 1/2 days to get there.  Being on the island and
seeing the church was definitely worth it.
