That means a lot Nancy! Thank you so much. How humbling that you read one of my poems to your class! I consider you a friend as well.

Gracias y agradezco tus amables palabras. Ha sido un placer conocerte a través de la iniciativa Lunes de Memorias. Hive realmente une a las personas y la cultura. ¡Que tengas un buen día!

Thank you my friend! I'm thinking that 20,000 must include comments I've written as well because the math doesn't work out otherwise. : ) I've enjoyed watching you blossom into the awesome writer that

Thank you!

I was so happy to find that Freethink video yesterday. It explained the cycle we're going through and how America (and the world) have experienced similar cycles three times in since the late 1700's. They

Thank you Lizelle! We're loving it so far. The search sometimes takes a while but when you find the one that's meant for you you'll know. That's how it was for us. We spent most of last summer looking

Thanks, same to you!

The way that you've weathered this past year has been an inspiration my friend. I wish you well in your search for a new home. If you don't find it right away I hope you enjoy the gypsy-life for a while.

Mesmerizing! I like the juxtaposition between those fleeting, slippery summer days and aging. I remember how the summer once brought with it such an intense enthusiasm for living. Good stuff!

We've definitely created this coming challenge with AI but, soon, it's going to take on a life of its own. It will be an interesting time to live through, that's for sure. Thanks and cheers to you @tonyes!

Lol! I certainly feel that age-related irrelevance from time to time—it's almost like I'm speaking another language sometimes. The ability to Reflect and Validate was largely lost! A few pockets of people

Thanks Krisz! I wish more people "got it" but, sadly, the average person doesn't or is just completely disinterested.

Yeah, so far the validity of the AI output has been biased depending on the information sources it's drawing from—until it has the ability to truly "think" and discern independent of source data.

I'm the same way! I still remember our childhood phone numbers from fifty years ago but have no clue what my closest friends' phone numbers are now.

I think you might be correct about AI freeing us from the screens. That's what I was hoping for with that wave of AI devices that debuted a little over a year ago (the Humane AI Pin and Rabbit) but they

It's evolved so quickly it's been difficult to keep up and this rate of evolution will only continue to get faster! I was speaking with someone who works at a university a few months ago and they were

Thanks Luis! These next few months are going to be very interesting for us all! I hope you're enjoying your week.

What a wonderful snapshot of this experience! Being raised in the US, as hard as I try, I can't get used to the tiny coffees on that side of the ocean. : ) Is Turkish coffee similar to espresso?

I highly recommend it. I've been lucky with the Tesla because I really push it sometimes but it's more stealthy because it looks like a sedan and doesn't make the noise a Vette does.

It is scary, @bozz! There are so many unknowns and this is the hard part. The fact that we don't have a social safety net already in place probably is the scariest part of it all to me.
