My name is Henrietta (Hettie) Dombrovskaya. I was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russian (actually, back then – Leningrad, USSR) in 1963, and immigrated to the United States in 1996.
I love Saint Petersburg, the city I was born and raised in, and I think it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. Similarly (but differently) I love Chicago, and can’t imagine myself moving somewhere else in the observable future.
I have three children, Igor, Vlad and Anna, all adults living on their own, and one (so far) granddaughter Nadia. I also believe that my children are the best thing that happened in my life.
As for my professional life, I am working in the field of Information Technologies. When I was twenty, I’ve declared that the databases are the coolest thing invented and that I want to do them for the rest of my life. Thirty plus years later, I still believe it’s true, and still, believe that the databases are the best. These two statements together imply that I think a person can have it all, and indeed, I think so! Keep reading my journals to find out how I did it.

I’ve received my ballot and can vote by mail or take it to a drop box. That said I’m leaning towards voting at the polling place. We live in a small district and I’m not concerned about lines or being in close proximity to others

For me, it is a pure question of time – early voting in Illinois will only start on Oct 19, and I am planning to be out for another crazy adventure. And if I choose to mail my ballot, it has to be this Monday – I feel it a little bit risky mailing after Oct 22. I really want to vote in person, but I want to be sure I will have time to do so.
