Over The Weekend

events 1 Minute

My friend Lena and I had a great time in the city, and although I was nervously looking at my phone all the time, nothing happened. In fact, Trump said that “he was not going to war with Chicago” (yea!), and even went so far as calling it “fake news.” I still listened to the sounds of helicopters more than I usually would (they are up there all the time), but once again, nothing happened.

Igor attended the “No Trump No Troops” rally, reporting way above average concentration of Palestinian protesters, which obviously bothered me as well, but I think it only means there should be more of “us” there.

I honestly think that Chicago showed enough resistance and readiness to fight to scare some crazy people away.

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.
