Momentos – Apr 2023
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 …
Momentos – Mar 2023
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 …

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 …
Momentos – Jan 2023
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 …
Momentos – Aug 2022
1 Not enough sleep and tons to do today. I’m thinking of it like an obstacle course. And I don’t just want to make it through. I want to rise to the occasion and crush this thing, be at my best. Here we go. 2 We leave tomorrow. Another hectic day today. Across town to …
Momentos – July 2022
1 Another day, another shit taxi experience in Tbilisi. Stuck in highway traffic with this guy, an ambulance passes and he tries to quarterback sneak it, gunning through narrow gaps, then acts pissy with other drivers getting back in lane and cutting him off. I yell at him, then get out and walk. 2 At …
