What am I doing here?

Well....  Not sure why is it that I found myself looking at my own reflection in my iPad screen as I type these words following what it seemed to be a delicious dinner at the Renaissance hotel. 

Sadly though, the menu changes only once a year so, I think, am I just dreaming that I'm chewing the same ol' feathery bird day after day, or is it just a cruel reality and I am the voracious Человек (pronounced 'tchíloviek', i.e. person) that is depleting generations of a chicken family? 

So, what am I doing here, in the shadow of this modern technology called 'Blog'?  Я не знаю (I don't know)...... 

So, thanks to my wife and sons that pushed me into this abyss of never ending verbal diarrhoea that may accompany you (or not), as the case may be, through my journey in the solitaire and windy steppes of Central Asia...
