Dear Alexandra,

Thank You for so many precise an clearsighted remarks.
Concerning the "freezing the life out of a person":
Well... basically I must say you that IT WAS LITERALLY HOW I MET ANNA.
Besides being a fireman I also organized in my past survival trips in the Siberian Taiga for rich businessmen in hunger of adrenaline. One of the trip turned out to be a REAL survival, and freezing almost to death in the snow I prayed God:
"Let me get out of this and I promise I will paint 25h per day"
So...then suddenly when all hope left us:
...in the milky fog and the snow ...in front of us behind the trees ...a pair of shining blue eye appeared... ...that of a husky dog ...and then ...and then ...of ANNA
with a huge, absolutely gorgeous, unbelievably desirable
hot cup of tea in her hand...
