Russian to a Party

Annie S did an amazing job last week of rounding a whole bunch of troops to head out to Brighton Beach for some dinner and dancin' for Russian New Year. Laying on a coach or two for us pathetic city-dwellers was the inspired touch. Some of us tried to blend in with the locals on the other side of the restaurant, and mix the crowds, but the Russian chap I was forced to dance with when Joost took his wife off for a twirl was none too happy when he asked me three times "He your boyfriend?" and I kept saying, no, no, he is just a friend. The fact that his wife was clearly having a ball dancing with a cute boy half her age was too much for him. And so he told me "New wife, only 3 month in city, she mine." and promptly deserted me to go and retrieve his property from Joost's fond embrace.
