2025 Vocal Goal Achieved
In January 2025, inspired by Rachel Deeming, I set out to write at least one story for each of the 48 Vocal communities throughout the year. Today, I have written the last one for the Interview. So, that particular goal has been achieved and all the stories are here:

Majestic Mountains
Mountains are my happy place. Growing up in the country of Kyrgyzstan, where 93% of the land mass are mountains, I spent a lot of time in my childhood and youth climbing, hiking, and camping in the mountains. They were just always there, only about a 30-min drive from the city, as a natural background to my life. And as something that was always there, I took mountains for granted.

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.
