Since our divorce in 2012 Svetlana, now remarried to me, has always wanted two things without me, while divorced. Our teen son and our Russian flat. Apparently she wasn't so keen on me but as a means to an end. She admitted this as we were divorced in 2012, her idea not mine, for we had an impressionable teen son that divorce would only complicate his then 12- 13 year old life. I recall begging Svetlana not to do it for his sake. She refused. She, unknown to me, had a whole cast of characters set up using 'street theater' to lead me to divorce and had little or no choice. For I was to become, in the transatlantic words of Egish Kharchatrian something most unexpected, "Rick you will become this generation's Lee Harvey Oswald!", he sceamed, following up with, "we will get Obama too!" Freaked out, I hung up the phone and gained another awkward, honestly unwanted, puzzle piece to the story of my life. I recall Svetlana's admission. A June day...
