Medea’s Quick Divorce
Response to Harper Lewis' Medea Gets Fleeced
Dear Jason,
Please use this letter as a quick divorce approval you requested, you poor gelded ram.
Did you really think I'd give you my best golden fleece? The problem with you lost travelers is that you never know the highest quality of either the sheep or the gold-gathering fleece. Since your departure, I've put a dozen of new fleece in my quarters, both on the walls and the floor for rugs. I literally walk and sleep on gold.
Don't worry about my brothers and dear father -- they all were in on it with me. They just couldn't wait for your merry drunken party of stupid robbers to depart. So we staged the "betrayal" together.
Have fun with your new bride. I wouldn't have even dreamed of attending your wedding. It would be too long of a tiring sea journey for no fun.
And I don't need your petty child support either. Keep it for your future Corinthian ex. I hope it won't take her too long to figure out your game.
With no love lost,
Medea.
P.S. Send my love back to my favorite Argonaut, Heracles. I hope he remembers many a fun night we've had. The kids are his, too.

Ali and Nino in Batumi, Georgia
I've been wanting to see this statue in person forever. I finally did, last weekend (February 7, 2026). My niece, who is staying with me and will be leaving in a week, desperately wanted to go to a sea (she has been to lakes, ponds, rivers, and oceans but never to a sea) so we decided to make a short trip to Batumi, the third largest city in Georgia (after Tbilisi and Kutaisi) located on the Black Sea shore. It is also a capital of Ajara, one of the regions of Georgia with a distinct culture and traditions. And the favorite place for Russians who fled Putin's war in Ukraine. In our short stay there, we heard a lot more Russian than Georgian in the streets of Batumi.

Worth the Wait: Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica
Beach bumming in a small Caribbean beach town sounded like a perfect way to end our 6-month trip through Mexico and Central America. Or so we thought. The foul, fishy stench of rotten seaweed hit our nostrils as we stepped from the cramped bus and looked out at a rather depressing, empty, and underwhelming black sand beach. It was pouring with rain, and we had to quickly fish out our ponchos. We thought, this couldn’t be it, could it?

Mount Nebo: Improvised Travel, Biblical History, and Grief in Jordan
After an improvised crossing from Israel into Jordan, a taxi ride to Mount Nebo became a strange, comic, and quietly mournful detour. Arriving an hour early, I wandered the desert hillside with figs, whole kiwis, and water, hearing only a disembodied groundskeeper, meeting a dog, and watching a distant Bedouin goatherder. The landscape felt harsh yet alive, an oasis of silence, history, and endurance. Inside the sanctuary, cooler air, Byzantine ruins, mosaics, and biblical memory deepened the visit. Yet the journey was shadowed by grief: it unfolded during a birthday week and just before my father’s funeral, giving the beauty a muted, tragic undertone.
