I can't thank you enough for coming along on this journey. There is no end gam here. As the late, great Neil Peart once penned, "The point of the journey is not to arrive". That's the plan. We just keep going until the wheels fall off.

I have dipped my toe in the AI pool recently, specifically using Google Gemini. This should be interesting.

Meeting Uncle Jake | The inspiration for my first book Episode 5

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 05:00:00 -0400

Almost ten years ago I began the journey of writing and self-publishing my first book. Never thought I would see it finished. My Uncle Jack was the inspiration and the story took off from there. Names and places have been changed to protect those name and places.
