Introduction: Since we dropped the news that my son and two of my grandsons are being prosecuted by the City of Moscow for stickering like good Americans, a few questions have naturally arisen. I thought I would take a brief moment to answer just a handful of them here. No particular order. Why at Night?: …
Sticklers Stamping Out Stickers
Introduction: So this last Monday afternoon was the day when our press release went public. I am of course talking about the news of the prosecution of my son and two of my grandsons. Over stickers. Since that time, developments have, as is their wont, developed. Let me tell you a little more about them, …

Please Stay Tuned
