Dasha is one of the very few Slovak specimens in this vicinity. She grew up in the communist Czechoslovakia, in a family of a dissident writer and a family therapist. Hence she learned to smuggle books and offer unwanted relationship advice from young age. She changed hairstyles and hobbies often from horseback riding, athletics, tap, modern and folk dance, through theatre, singing, boxing, skiing, to road biking, painting, guitar, piano. Got an MA in political science and decided to change the world through her work in a human rights group in native Bratislava. She changed her mind instead and came to Boston to get a doctorate. Now she works as a mediator in ethnic conflicts in unpronounceable places at the end of the world.

hope it works... (view)

Sun 8 Nov, 2009 07:15 am - the dream sounds natural, given what's going on in your life in the last year or so, nothing out of ordinary, and likely nothing that has to do with marathon whatsoever either. why would you... (view)
Thu 5 Nov, 2009 01:36 pm - bill, just a note on the margin: this is slovakia, not the u.s. universal health care... so employers don't really care about paying or not paying...they all pay the same.
