RE: Beers and Sunshine
Being back at work it must really make it feel like summer is coming to a close! I'm seeing little glimpses of fall already out here, that always makes me want to wring out every last bit of fun from summer.

RE: Late-August freewrite!
So good to see you back. It seems like you're in a good place now—whenever the creativity is flowing it feels amazing. The new project sounds very interesting! Ouch, I've never heard of that stapling ritual.

RE: It is a strange feeling indeed...
I'm sorry you're feeling this way. I've had similar feelings during significant transitional moments in my own life. It can be quite disconcerting and sometimes it can force you to question if you're on

Thank you! I haven't shared much about the problems we've encountered but there have been so many! Wow, that astrologer was spot-on! That sounds like a complete nightmare to have battled those kinds of

RE: DIY-Retirement
Same. There are certain things I just won't tackle anymore. I think as we get older we're more astute about our "known unknowns". Oh no! Thankfully our ceiling didn't collapse but it probably

It's been quite an adventure for us! I'm glad your nephew spotted that issue. I'll do a lot more vetting the next time we need a home inspector. The particular one we hired just came recommended by our

RE: DIY-Retirement
Absolutely. The tricky thing in our case was we weren't sure what work had been done and what hadn't. The furnace wasn't original to the home and neither was the hot water heater. Just a case of bad timing,

RE: More than you can hold
I can imagine it’s different when guns aren’t part of the culture. For me it’s a leap from having a firearm for home-protection to carrying one on your person. With as dangerous as our cities are becoming

RE: DIY-Retirement
Same here. I took on jobs I probably shouldn’t have when I was young. I would’ve hired a plumber if our son couldn’t have handled that part.

RE: More than you can hold
I love target shooting! My dad had a 357 Magnum and I've shot both 9mm pistols and an AR-15. We grew up with weapons, as they're so baked into American culture. I never considered owning a pistol myself

That sounds like a true adventure! Thank you! I'll be sure to check in with you if we ever plan to travel there.

RE: Morning People
I didn't fully appreciate back then in those tumultuous teen years but I sure did later! We'd come back and make a big breakfast and then sometimes would go on bike rides after that.

RE: Why the constant Hate For AI?
I think people are still trying to find the proper balance using AI. Most LLMs are going to begin embedding invisible statistical watermarks in the text of AI-created content at the code level to allow

Thank you! My next book is going to be a collection of essays! I also love being up in those early morning hours before dawn. It's so quiet and the air is fresh. I remember when I was twelve or so I had

I don't like to rush in the mornings either. I think that's one reason I wake up when I do. Nothing ruins my day like having to rush around. I especially like to get up early when I travel to try to make

Thanks so much Krisz! And I appreciate all of the helpful suggestions! I enjoy thinking about different ways to market offline. For Ephemera I embedded a Bitcoin private key across several pages the manuscript
