Bunch To Do: Part One

With Age comes…

In my young adulthood, I thought that with age life would get simpler. Ha!

Hahahahahaha! Haha…sigh, wipes tear, It hasn’t.

Today, while I was reading about “mindfulness” I was also thinking about this blog.

I know…I know! I’m always both trying to “be in the present moment” and also thinking…all. the. things.

Once thing I’ve been dwelling on is the complicated relationship between a website and LLMs. I know that every word I put onto the web is now stollen fodder to feed the machine. And yet, if I don’t put

No One is Just One “Thing”

I recently had an opportunity to share my opinion on a topic I feel pretty strongly about. Which, as you know, does not narrow down the options  AT ALL.

New ambitions, new fears, new opportunities to be courageous. A new chance
