Meet Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Not quite Solzhenitsyn himself, but almost as good 2 years ago

I still haven’t met AIS, and since he just turned 88 and reportedly is having some physical problems, it looks like I might never have the chance.

BUT, in November 2006 I had an experience almost as good. Two online acquaintances of mine released a new anthology of Solzhenitsyn’s writings (“The Solzhenitsyn Reader”, at http://tinyurl.com/ws2nf ), and their publisher hosted a launch party in Philadelphia. I was able to wrangle an invitation to the book launch.

Making brief speeches at the party were Ignat and Stephan Solzhenitsyn, two of AIS’s three sons. I was able to speak briefly with each of them, which made for a quite remarkable evening!

Get a tattoo
Maybe it's a mid-life thing 2 years ago

I dunno, but it’s been a few months now and I can’t shake the idea. I’m Catholic – here’s the image I want…

go to sheppard pratt
I did, kinda... 2 years ago

But I don’t think I did in the way that mercyspain has in mind – I did an internship there, years ago. It was a great place to train at, and I suspect if you’re going to do the patient thing, you couldn’t do much better, either!
