It’s only impossible until you do it the first time.

You do not need anyone’s permission to attempt things that have never been done.

Neither do i.

So i am.

AI summary screen shot
This morning Alan helped me see what i thought AI will do someday. His text with all his questions and Groc 3’s answers, well, make it compelling real for me now. Check out this answer…
AI answering a question screenshot
Alan asked Groc 3 (AI) a series of questions. This photo is one of many. Too many to share today.

It’s fitting that today is my official final day writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts.

A remarkably astonishing feat.

i actually did it and still can’t fathom that it happened.

Insight & karma: i’ve been wondering for years how i could take an overwhelming number of blog posts (6,000+ per blog x 5 blogs = 30k+) and synthesize it for someone (our son) who would get only the very best from 16 consecutive years of my self-reflection, insight, and hope. Karma delivered the answer, by using a brilliant, personal (and real) example from Alan’s experiments. What are the odds. Literally zero. But it happened anyway.

AAA was here two hours ago. Why? Ten minutes into our two-hour plus drive home from Port Richey, Cheryl’s battery light comes on. She’s following me home. i’m in the lead in the brand new car that only had 2 miles on it when we test drove it yesterday. What should have been a celebratory drive home today, was a nail-biter all the way because i/we never knew if the 2015 Honda would die on the way home.
41-second video: As real, and unglamorous, as it gets.

Luck favors the bold.

And the good and decent.

And the humble.

And the broken.

i is all of that and more…

So is whoever reads this.

Made a friend.
