Well, our Russian friend, we ain't all "GUYS" that are looking forward to meeting you. My expectation is that there will be some GALS, as well as guys, in the queue. I'm certainly looking forward to being there and meeting you as one of the "guys" in the queue, as you said.

I'll have my camera with me and I'll see if I can catch you during a smile. Consider me to be your promotional agent who thinks that a smile rather than a frown or sober ambiance might be a good thing for you to do, from time to time. And, if all goes well (I make the event and get some good pics) I'm sure that I'll be doing a blog article on your much anticipated visit.

Have a good flight and keep us posted on details of your travel details, if you will. And if there is anything you would like to know about and/or from us before you get here, all you need to is ask.

Will do my best to make it.

cut him some slack Doug, he's Russian and most around the world aren't as politically correct as Americans in identifying girls. Also, in many nations - guys means a wholistic point of view of everyone - like saying mankind. This is very common when you LEAVE the political correctness (and rightfully so) of America - but women around the world don't have too much problem with it.

politically correct? Heck, I think it's not that. Sam, you are using a translater to communicate with us aren't you? Google or do you read and write English?

he uses a translator, speaks/reads no english. Russia is his culture, which like MOST around the world is not the same as American - as I mentioned in the previous post.

Doug, unfortunately, I can not be held responsible for the quality of the translation online translator Google, as well as company Google.
In our country, the word "guys" is equivalent to the word "people".

Just say..."ya'll" around here Sam...it will work...

Ya'll will be the first word Sam will be taught when he gets off the plane.

Sherrie Coale uses "you guys" all of the time when she is talking to her women's basketball team.

Bigray in Ok

It is quite amazing how long ago Russia was our major enemy. And now we have someone from Russia coming to visit Oklahoma! Sam do not speak English? It is all done with online translator? Must be interesting to communicate in person on the 16th. But do not say anything that will accidentally anger him and start a WW3.

Sam, I hope you have a good time in OKC. I also hope the online translator converted properly of this post.

LOL Doug. You beat me to it.

Just a few more days...
