It is pretty awesome. A squirrel has claimed the bird feeder as his own these past few days and chatters at any birds who try to land. That's too bad about the crime there. I've seen quite a bit in the

Yeah, I think moments are tough to embrace in that situation for a variety of reasons. I was almost like a robot during those years—wake up, participate in the grind, come home, go to sleep. Where there's

That's an amazing tradition you have there @tonyes! You could probably upload those poems to Amazon and get a book produced pretty easily. Thank you my friend! I appreciate the kind words. Enjoy what's

As someone who worked a traditional job from the age of 18 until 46 —the one thing that I always ask myself after escaping the traditional work-world is, How the hell did I get everything done when I worked

Thank you! I encourage you to publish. You might be surprised by how many people would be interesting in it. And, you're right, published books carry a certain cachet. They can lead to much more opportunities

We're getting a steady stream of "customers" now at the feeder. : ) Thank you. I'm so glad I decided to move forward with the book. I almost forgot how much fun the process was. It's hard to

Scary! I'm glad to hear all is well! I've wondered where you've been. Middle-age is a bugger. I started getting sun spots about five years ago and now have to go to a dermatologist annually. So far they've

No problem!

I’d try downloading the Grok app first. That might give you Grok 3 without paying the fee. I forgot they have the standalone app now.

Thank you! I love the symbolism with the poppy. That must’ve been stored in my subconscious somewhere because that’s the flower I originally saw in my mind’s eye.

I feel so much better now that I made the decision so I know it was the right one. Thank you! I’ll be posting updates as the project progresses. Hope you’re having a good week. It’s probably warming up

I appreciate it! A friend of mine on Hive suggested the title. It definitely seems timely with everything going on in the world today. I love the process of creating the entire book. It feels a little
