Reunion.. soon!

 I believe I've rehearsed this more than once on this blog but I'm a stifled writer. At least I like to think of myself as a writer but sad as it is I haven't really written anything besides this blog for a number of years and that's a shame and it's a little frightening because I sense my time is running out. I don't mean I'm going to drop dead tomorrow- - but I might - - I'm just saying if I don't do something soon I'll leave this earth/planet whatever without anything written at least recently. A week ago or so I was with my son and his quasi wife and it came up that I had written a number of items she was impressed. I wasn't too impressed but it was certainly nice getting the stroke so having somebody impressed that I was or have written in the past. I didn't even bring up the fact that I was published as far as that's concerned which is a big deal for people who like to write or think that they like to write. So, having said this and to reiterate my contempt for AI and silly people who tend to use AI I must confess I'm beginning to consider the possibility of using AI to write. I know that leaves a bad taste immediately in the mouth as well as me doing a fast drop on everybody's opinion poll but today I was thinking. The thing about AI and folks are used AI saying that they've written stuff and it was really AI is that is doing all the work. I know when I first considered the whole Ai and the writing and what was being written as original or whatever from the brain of the artificial was it actually writing it all? So what if I did use AI and I wrote something say a short story and basically AI wrote it but it was my idea and it was my thought process that got the whole thing started. And what if I took the final product or the product that was produced and then truly added more stuff that was me. Since the AI wrote the basic part of the document and is based on me and then I rewrite it all me then quite possibly I could assume that it was my document. I don't have a problem with sharing the work with the AI whoever it is or what it is but it was certainly be something written. I haven't done anything yet but it might be fun to play around with the whole concept a little.

I was across the street at the market this afternoon and so I didn't pay much attention to what was going on in my backpack and when I got home I noticed that my older brother had called me. So this evening I called him back and he informed me that everything was go for the family reunion this coming Friday and Saturday and possibly Sunday. I assured it might be able to make it and that I was planning on it. He let me know everything was in place there is food and his backyard was ready to assume the family who shows up. I am looking forward more than anything else to the reunion being over and getting on with the rest of the summer for me. That's really sad but true. Some of the older folks brothers and sisters I'm looking forward to seeing cuz I don't know how much longer I'll be able to interact with them as living beings. These guys are way older than me and I'm old. Some of us is not all of us don't have much time left and take advantage of each time to be together…
