Thanks for the update. Boy, it's been years. When I started
reading the forum Van was a little child.

I should start by saying that Mickey loved his trip to Russia.
He has worked hard to keep up his language skills since I've
known him. There was some amusement at his accent, but the fact
that he's a native born Russian and an adopted Texan seems to
have earned him some points.
I think everyone knows that Mickey has a double major in Russian
Studies and Journalism. He's also taken a lot of computer
courses - almost enough he could have minored in it. I did
suggest that, but I think he's getting tired of school, so he's
staying on track to graduate next May.
I should say that Mickey is still making money from his online
presence. As busy as he is, he still keeps up his sports blog
and related. He's also been able to turn that into some tickets
and invitations from time to time, which really tickled his
fancy. Besides that, he also has a less busy blog that mostly
deals with what's going on in Russia these days, in relation to
the rest of the world.
Overall, while he does dislike being so far away from Van, he
seems like he's really happy with where he is in life.

I am limited in what I can/should say about Mickey.
Mickey graduated college with degrees in Journalism and Russian
Studies. He got a masters in International Relationships.
I'm going to skip a few steps here, but Mickey (he goes by Misha
again) is now living in Belgium and works with NATO as a
translator. He has spent time in the Ukraine.
At this time, he's going to be applying for Belgium/EU
citizenship within the year. He came home a couple of weeks ago
for Van's birthday, and he'll be coming back for two weeks for
Van's graduation.
Other than that - he loves his work, is dating a nice Polish
lady who works in an office near his (they met during lunch and
started talking), has a nice apartment he shares with an
American (who loves sports, so they get along great). We
exchange email a lot and video chat occasionally, and I guess
that's really about it.

Nice to hear he's doing well! :) Only thing is that he is far
away from the rest of his family.

I agree, that is probably as much as you want to share about
Misha. The work he is doing is high risk at times, so the more
you don't share the better it is for him. It is wonderful just
knowing he is doing what he enjoys and is happy.

Thanks for the update Jack, I am glad that Misha is doing what
he likes!.
