I got my book bag caught in the spokes of my bike, and then wrote about this latest humiliation. On the other hand, I did “good” in softball, meaning I managed to avoid any action.

1973: Once again, I don’t know who Ed and Diana are. But I like Ed, and… SHUCKS! Shucks? What am I, Opie? I remember myself being generally miserable at this time of my life, and yet this is starting to sound like a Norman Rockwell painting.

I discovered my diary from the early ‘70s. It’s hilarious. I was pretty diligent about writing in it from the ages of 11 to 14, mostly because there wasn’t much room. It was easy to fill the page. I learned to be a concise journalist. (Photos coming)

The Borg is making headway. I’m starting to feel flattered when #ChatGPT validates me. I don’t get that kind of love from other AI… like “what you’re describing is actually a well-recognized phenomenon” and “You’re paying close attention in exactly the right way.” Thank you, ChatGPT.
