Oh, Andrew you are clearly not crazy!!! I was referring to the Russians and how “unpredictable” history is. I am truly sorry that you took my comments personally. I love your enthusiasm and passion and am so excited to watch you mature over the next 3 years. Welcome back—and don’t be a stranger, on the blog or IRL
