A Future Train Ride
I’m riding a train somewhere in Europe, reading a book but mostly looking around to admire the scenery. My son is sitting next to me on the right, scrolling through the vast collection of music on his phone. Sometimes he’d just stick one of his earphones into my ear, “Listen to this one.”

The End of The Tour (2015). Top Story - January 2025.
I have a confession to make: I was yesterday years old when I discovered David Foster Wallace and his significance as a contemporary American writer. I'll turn 55 in a couple of weeks. I know, it's embarrassing. My only excuse is that I lived half of my life in the Soviet and post-Soviet cultures.

My Best Stories in Vocal Communities
I really liked Rachel Deeming's idea of writing stories for each Vocal Community in 2025. I've written for many of them, but it would be a great personal challenge to see if I can write a new story for each of the existing communities in 2025. This story will be an index for all my community stories.

A Star Is Being Born
A nebula fall? No, a universe melting a brand new bright star. When I saw this picture by Hubble Space Telescope, I thought it was a whole galaxy in the shape of a waterfall. But no, it's a capture of the birth of just one star. Looks like a surrealist painting.

Happy New Year!
Time glass galaxy Is flipping, starting a new Happy New Year, all! I am having a great time catching up with my relatives in Germany, which made me think about how important time with the loved ones is for our renewal and recharging. Wishing everyone a great new year!

My Top Story Index
When I got my first Top Story, I had a feeling of butterflies in my stomach. To this day, I feel elated when one of my stories gets this distinction, even though I believe some of them are not as worthy of this status as those of my stories that I really loved and poured my heart into but got left out. For example, I am still puzzled that neither of my two Sisyphus stories got a TS. But I am content with the fact that my stories are selected by Vocal, for whatever reason they are.

My 2024 Winter Break
Every year after a long fall semester I try to get out to warmer places or places I have my people in. I love traveling with my son, and in previous years when he was a high school student and just started college we went to Brazil, Peru, Paris and last year - to Italy, where we had the most wonderful time together.
