TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN’ : MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE
Roman got engaged yesterday to lovely Yulia. I hope they breed the brood that they both desire. Roman is my closest friend, business partner, advisor, editor. Yulia is ‘the kind of woman you want to marry’. As you know, I think the family is a sacred and beautiful thing.
At the same time, I have done just the opposite. Most people know that Veronika and I had a marriage of convenience. I have been living on the other side of the country for much of the past year. It is not that we were not close friends, we were, but it was not a marriage in practice. It is no longer convenient. And as most of you know, while we were great friends, we are not at all compatible. Or as one friend says a ‘Misalliance’. So I have filed for divorce. As such, I have found that it is better to state truth early, than try to counter rumors. There is nothing here that close friends do know know or expect.
Given that she is such a great friend, I hope some smart person out there that has met her at PFS or through the Libertarian movement, or knows her through me sees this as an opportunity. (Especially if you’re taller than I am.) Even though I am attractive to a certain type of woman, I am nearly impossible to live with – as you can imagine. And she can put up with anything. 😉 V is a lot of fun, cunning, and can see through people to their core at a glance.
I thank her for all she has done for me, and that we have done together. But it’s time to move forward for both of us.
Cheers

So this is what I have learned:
– I am dependent. I cannot be dependent upon men. I feel unsafe in Ukraine, mostly because I can’t speak the language, but also because of money, and because of cultural differences – which is why I seek women to provide me comfort and women to act as intermediaries.
– I feel unsafe because of Veronika. Not only that she is a cost, but that she terrorizes me. I don’t see any of the other girls improving that condition.
– I don’t see anything coming of the relationship with tati.
– My loneliness is satisfied by my work friends, and my writing and popularity.
– I am unsure but it is just as likely that I would be happy with an assistant/housekeeper since I really do not care if I get other attention from a room mate.
– best and cheapest answer is to go solo with an assistant to help me.
– Love the idea of being near Don. Also feels like fate. I try to listen to fate.
– Think I might be better off in Seattle, but can’t afford an assistant there.
– Best answer is to keep as assistant, tati, abandon the costs of the others, and forget them and see how the year plays out.
– stay here in tallinn while the divorce plays out?

I felt a victim of my predatory government in the states. I feel the stress of poverty, corruption, and poor infrastructure in Ukraine – as well as the pressure of language. In Estonia I feel ‘safe’ or ‘comfortable’ for the fist time that I can remember. I can speak english. People are civil in proper protestant fashion, everything works, shops have stock.

(My waitress speaks Estonian, Russian, English, German, Italian, Spanish, French, and Czech. Damn. And she’s a waitress. I can fake my way through travel german, french, Spanish, and Italian with a week or two of exposure. I can pretty much read German but I have to look up a bunch of the words, and I get the gist of Russian well enough to read newspapers. I guess learning curt-speak has taken all my efforts. But I am humbled by these people with four or more languages. Yesterday another waitress went from table to table and it was funny to watch that she could switch between languages easily, except switching away from Russian made her get stuck. So to mess with her, I switched between Russian and English. She laughed.)

(Hobbiton. This lovely little 23 room hotel in Tallinn is in an ancient house, and the doors and staircase headers are even a bit short for me. It’s no wonder I feel comfortable here. It’s like Hobbiton. lol )

I didn’t realize the burden my aspie-ness was on my wife Allora (now ex). The illness made it far worse. She was a saint really. And traveling together was an experience that was without equal. Travel just isn’t the same without someone who appreciates design, craft, art, architecture and history. We were an interesting pair. Nothing really possible to equal it. Some women are precious beyond measure. People like us don’t exist any longer. We are the last generation of nobility I think. The opposition succeeded in less than a century in destroying the west. Sad. Not just for us. But for mankind.

CAN’T COME BACK TO UKRAINE THIS WEEK!!!!! ARGH
So check this out. I have to get a special visa for Ukraine in order to open a business and be employed by it. So I come to London to get the visa, and they issue it promptly (’cause they have sort of special deal for americans – which is smart). And then I find out today that I actually can’t leave ukraine while they’re issuing the paperwork in Ukraine. So that means I wouldn’t be able to go to our conference (meeting) in Estonia!! So I have to go to Estonia first, then to Ukraine. ARGH.
The problem of borders with low trust countries.
On the other hand, have you noticed that London is trying to imitate Istanbul?
