Pretty much nails it. Love the Monsanto dig. 

My brother Joel died 3 months before the birth of his only grandchild. Today is David's 1st birthday. He's a whopper, 30 lbs. 4 teeth, crawling and pulling up but not walking yet. Learning new words every day. Blows kisses to say goodbye.  This is me and my grand nephew, David. 

Pretty men and women in myth and legend.  (link opens in a separate window) Recently saw an article here about AI. I use AI to help me clarify and define story ideas. Usually I start with some random thing I think of and see where it goes. This is a discussion I had with Meta.  This starts with a discussion of the idea of the "Man that all women love" trope. It's a standard in certain...

Let's see, I do not, and have never, owned a cell phone or tablet. I feel that they are a huge invasion of privacy. Not just the endless sales/scam calls, although those too.

My purpose was not to question the results but, rather, gain a better understanding of the processes they use to reach their conclusions.

I'd have more sympathy with the Smithsonian here if I...

So hubby and I are celebrating 40 years tomorrow.  We are taking a 4 days at a Hilton in Saratoga Springs.  We spent 7 years dating prior to that.  In essence we grew up together.  We have 2 wonderful kids (adults).  10 years ago he bought me the house I wanted even though he swore he would never own a Cape Cod.  It has beautiful hard wood floors.  His new thing is to tell me to pick out...

Well, it's mid-August, and after a really late start the garden is finally full and producing. It's been nothing but hot and dry since about mid-July, with the exception of one week of cool weather right at the start of the month. I've been watering daily for weeks, and there's still no rain in the forecast. The corn got invaded by a mole before it even came up, and later got ravaged by...

@ReallyAmerican1 · 11m BREAKING: In a shocking moment, during a rant in which he brutally criticizes Fed Chair Jerome Powell, Trump forgets that he appointed him, saying "I'm surprised he was appointed. I was surprised that Biden put him in." Trump nominated him in 2017.
