I almost was thinking she was in fact performing to swan lake, because she was very balletic and that the Carnival of the Animals, happened to be a series of movements representing the animals. But when Oksana skates, I do not see her as a swan in the Carnival of the Animal just as well as I intensely see her as a swan with Tchaikovsky’s extremely powerful and gorgeous masterpiece with the opening of Swan Lake, completely engaging with her beauty. So every time I see her skating with the sound off, the first thing that comes to my mind, is I’m hearing the opening of Swan Lake orchestration of Swan Lake being conducted by Eugene Ormandy with the Philadelphia Orchestra. I’m not really kidding.

It's hard to be around alcoholics. You never know if they are honest or lying because they are always trying to seek out the next drink. I was on a three week touring holiday with another couple and it was a disaster trying to arrange even one day tours because the husband's alcoholism was so profound. We didnt know how bad at the time, but I suspected it. He wouldn't go places if there was no alcohol to be found, and he was very clever at how he blamed other people for his every misstep along the way. He created nicknames for people or made fun of you if you were "on to him" or if you wanted to go on certain tours, ie it wasn't "cool to go" here or there. We had a six pack of beer and a bottle of wine in our hotel room for a planned social event at someone's villa. But he visited our room and he stole it all! He drank ALL that booze before dinner. I kid you not, I was looking for the beer and wine before our picnic... but it was gone. I was utterly shocked. I will never travel with an alcoholic again, they are too sneaky. Much later he had knee surgery and that was when his doctor figured out he was a liar about being so addicted to alcohol. He was in full withdrawal in the recovery room and had even begged my husband to smuggle whiskey into the hospital to "celebrate a successful surgery". His new wife was bewildered at how he was "acting goofy", and his doctors were angry that he lied on his pre-surgical forms. He was just such a smooth liar, very good looking and fun, so he always fooled people. I was the only one that saw through him so he had a habit of calling me terrible names. Like "oh here comes mother goose". Oh here comes "miss party pooper" but it was to throw people off. He eventually went into rehab but do you think it worked? I'll let you guess... he's still out there charming everyone and backstabbing ... and drinking. Even HR is on his side. One day he'll kill someone on the road and charm his way out of any culpability. He knows hes a liar, he knows he's an alcoholic but he uses people. Alcoholism is a chronic disease and is never, ever cured, it must be dealt with daily with NO enablers. I myself, never help alcoholics anymore, nor do I believe anything an alcoholic or a "recovering alcoholic" ever says. There's no such thing. It's very hard, very sad, but that is the disgusting truth about alcoholics. I'm so blessed that one cold beer is all I need, I have no desire to keep drinking. Its awful when you need to lock your alcohol cabinet when certain visitors come to your home. I had precious gifts of Polish vodkas, even a wonderful bottle of scotch as a holiday gift from a semi-famous actor whom I wont name, but only to discover they were all gone by morning with this one alcoholic guy spending the night at our home! He cleaned us out!
