Momentos – June 2023

Photo of me with my car fitted with a bicycle rack.

1 Another legal threat from a course creator. Sent them our review, told them we’d correct any errors. And thisΒ is how they respond. Someone on my team receives these emails now instead of me, so I don’t take it so personally. 2 The last written words of Leonardo da Vinci… “Here’s another way of looking …

Watching NBA Playoff basketball with Me Mad Cuz.

1 Trying to be more like LeBron James. He’s older now, can’t go all-out all the time, has to pick his spots, take some plays off. I’ve been going hard at it the last few days, had to take some plays off today, before I pulled a mental hamstring. 2 I’ve heard that recreational drugs …

Photo of me on the deck of a nice Airbnb a little north of Barcelona.

1 Today was Saturday and I worked all day. Didn’t particularly want to, but did it anyway, needed to get a bunch of things done. I like to think I’ll look back on days like this, and feel they were well worth the effort and sacrifice. 2 I like living in a place with distinct …

Spring cherry blossoms along the river in Andorra La Vella.

1 I’ve had this idea since 2020, something that works well for another site but I reckon I could do it much better. It would complement my existing business nicely, too. And yet I keep holding myself back, knowing that it would be too much to take on right now. Maybe someday. 2 When I …

Momentos – Feb 2023

Taking in the view on a snowy drive through the mountains of Andorra.

1 British mathematician John Edensor Littlewood considered a “miracle” to be a one-in-a-million event. He also figured that a person encounters one distinct “event” per second while alert and awake. In 35 days, that adds up to one million events. Therefore, the average person encounters a miracle about once a month. 2 My go-to snack …

A beautiful sunset sky in Andorra.

1 Lots of stress and struggle for me in 2022, trying to juggle business, relationships, and moving to a new country. And yet I look back on it all quite fondly. Some things that suck in the moment can become good memories. 2 Maybe productivity is like sleep: the harder you try, the more it …

Momentos – Dec 2022

1 Bought a big new television today. Could barely fit it in the car to take home. We’ll have a really nice home cinema thing going on once it’s all set up. Would be amazing for gaming as well, but I wouldn’t trust myself with a console. 2 Ran 4 kilometers into the woods before …

Momentos – Nov 2022

1 It was hard to get out for a nice walk when we lived in Tbilisi. But here in Andorra every walk is nice. Found a trail up behind the telecabina station today, followed it through the woods to an abandoned shack, spectacular views all around. 2 Been renting a car since we got here. …

Momentos – Oct 2022

1 Was going for a short run but ended up doing 10k. Through the mountains, the views and fresh air kept me going until my feet gave out. Along the way, saw folks relaxing by the lake, men catching trucha, an amateur ninja flying through the woods. 2 In a mall restroom the other day, …

Momentos – Sept 2022

1 Moving to Andorra is expensive. Many move here for tax reasons, but we’ll be on the hook to pay way more in taxes here compared to Georgia. We’re counting on it being worth it though. Happy to pay a premium for a much higher quality of life. 2 Trying to wrap up this deal …
