Thank you, Don, for your wishes!

My little impromptu review of what blogs in Russia, Ukraine and elsewhere in this part of the world say about March 8 is on Global Voices Online now - here.

Of course, right after I posted it at about 3 a.m. yesterday (yes, Marta's schedule has changed somewhat again), I noticed two more bloggers dealing with the theme: Katerina at The Accidental Russophile here and Stephan at Everybody I Love You here. I'll try to update when I get a chance.

Unrelated to March 8: please do check this entry by Lyndon at Scraps of Moscow - on how something as tiny and insignificant as a 19th-century bribe can have major consequences when you wait a century and look at it again!
