Thank you my friend! As we get older it becomes more and more apparent how important these family visits are. I'm sorry you lost your Mom so soon. We were lucky to have my Dad with us until he was 80,

Thanks, I could never give it up entirely. Over the past few years it feels like the public is, in a large sense, moving away from long-form writing. This will probably just get worse as AI becomes more

Thank you! It felt good to write here again.

Lol. This doc is a banger. The topic freaks so many people out I didn't want to lead with it. : )

It was nice. We see each other several times a year but this is the first Thanksgiving holiday we've spent together in about three decades.

That all looks wonderful! How lucky you all are on that side of the pond to be able to hop to different countries so quickly. I need to get back to London, asap.

I'd really like to meet the real-life inspirations for your characters to see how closely they match my mental pictures. It's funny what some people consider "healthy"—the poor dude was probably

I'm so sorry to hear your friend has had to deal with this but I'm glad he's getting good care. I just lost one of my oldest friends to bladder cancer. It was already stage 4 and had spread to his bones

It's insane really. It supports your original thought though.

Thank you so much Nancy! This would be similar to what you've seen. I want it to be no longer that two minutes and easily sharable on social media. I'm experimenting with using fractals for the video.

Oh, we hear those gripes from our son too! Some unions are more corrupt than others. Seeing the benefits he has versus what we had we still think his union provides more protections than we ever had. The

Knowing what I know now I'd probably do the same at this point and get into a trade. I saw so much downsizing, increase in responsibilities, and reduction of raises/benefits/pensions in the white collar

The landscape has changed a lot in regard to post-secondary education in the last five or so years. I think work-experience accounts for more than a degree, especially in the tech sector, but some employers

Yes, that's an option. I'm finding the audio file for most of these will be over a minute in length and each stanza would just produce a 5-6 second video. Since most of my poems only have 4-5 stanzas I'd

Thanks! What's your passion?

Thank you!

Thank you. I hope you find time to do it. I got these wireless mics they're supposed to have top notch noise cancellation. They seem to be extremely well made too, they feel like an Apple product. I'll

Thank you! It should be a fun adventure! I'm just figuring out the final few hurdles. Lol, sometimes it does work out after another try! I got tired after the fourth though and decided to switch gears.

That was fun for me too. I was using Midjourney a few years ago to create still photos for poems, using the poems as the prompt. It was capable then but I can only imagine how much more advanced it is

Thanks, I hope so!
