David Homel: Hello. My name is David Homel. That's David Homel, H-O-M-E-L. The O is long and the stress is on the second syllable, so it's not HOM-el, it's Hom-EL. The reason why it's that way is that it used to be Homelski and as many names do it got circumcised at immigration. I realize that's a cultural joke that some of you might not get, but that's why it's Homel. Homel, as you know, used to be part of Ukraine. Now it's part of Belarus and I'm not too happy about that, but I can't do anything about history. Anyway, David Homel.
