Speaking of Russians and parents:

Woke up yesterday wondering what Vladimir Nabokov's translating/opera singing/sports car enthusing son Dmitri looked like, so here is a pic from 1998, unveiling a plaque in his father's name. I do so hope that the tshirt says "FRANKIE SAY WAR! HIDE YOURSELF!" in cyrillic.

And - he lives partly in Switzerland, of course, but also part of the time in Palm Beach, FL! Florida? Sick!

But look at him! Doesn't he need a show on TLC or something where he goes around Florida solving murders? Wikipedia bio also says he writes books under an assumed name which he's never revealed, so maybe that could be the hook for the TV show - he solves murders and then writes a series of mysteries based on his sleuthing, then he gets an erstwhile nymphette sidekick who deduces what's up when he mentions butterflies once too often.
One can hear the promo voiceover: "A TLC Original (of Laura) Series..."

Of course, in this grim world, it will probably turn out that he's the goon who wrote The Shack.
