The Legend of Mikheil Khergiani
He was buried in a closed casket. When I asked his cousin's son, who was giving me a tour of Mikheil's house in Mestia, Svaneti, how the Italians had managed to retrieve his body, my guide replied honestly, "I don't know. I was five when he died. I don't think anyone knows, and I don't want to think about how badly his body was damaged. He plummeted from 600 meters of Mount Su-Alto in the Italian Alps. I do know it took days for his body to be retrieved. His funeral was almost three weeks after he died, hence the closed casket."

"Kartveli" Performance
My niece and I went to see this performance on December 20, 2025. Kartveli is a young Georgian folk group that created a wonderful program sampling dances and songs from various regions of Georgia ("Kartveli" means "a Georgian person," both in terms of the geographic origin and identity, the umbrella term covering many different ethnic groups calling Georgia home).

Tetris and Me
I am no gamer. At all. Grew out of it. I am at the age where I play only Lumosity games and only occasionally when I remember that I still have an active subscription and it's being wasted. I get bored with it too quickly. Besides, there are so many more other interesting and useful things to do.

Stolen Bike, Not Valor . Top Story - December 2025.
Koa was riding his new electric bike through the city park not too far from the US Embassy where he served in an Asian country. The ride was a part of his daily evening workout. He didn't really like the idea of an electric bike because he thought it was lazy. Besides, Koa had another good mountain bike he'd bought here used and it gave him a much better workout. But this one was his girlfriend's gift for his 29th birthday that she had taken the trouble to ship to him across the ocean. Koa felt obliged to ride it out at least occasionally, but promised himself not to use the battery. He even took it off the bike, to avoid the temptation.

Silk!
Silk is my favorite fabric. Not only because of its feel and texture - we say "silky-smooth" for a reason - but also because it's strong, durable and beautiful. However, its production is incredibly cumbersome, resource-intensive and prone to various environmental factors such as climate, disease and bacteria that can damage or kill silkworms and mulberry trees.

Stray Dogs in Tbilisi
No one can keep an accurate track because the registration and chipping is not systematic, but there are estimated 120,000 stray dogs in the country of Georgia, with up to 45-50,000 roaming in Tbilisi. It is a lot for a population of 1.4 million people.
