New Project

I’m Back. Apparently.

About 15 years later… here I am again.

In the meantime, I moved away, got my Broker’s License, opened an insurance office, and did the responsible adult thing. Then a couple of years ago we ran into some health issues. I was turning 62, had hit my retirement goals, and decided that was enough excitement for one lifetime.

So I pulled the plug.

Closed the office.

Turned in the keys.

Parked my ever-expanding butt in front of the television.

And… got bored.

Seriously. What in the world happened to TV?

At some point I realized I was spending large portions of my day watching guys on YouTube mow other people’s lawns for free.

That’s how bad television has gotten.

So I started tinkering with AI programs. One experiment led to another, and before long I was running an ongoing satire about a fictional political campaign for the prestigious office of World Leader.

Yes. World Leader.

I’ve been posting it on Facebook, but I’m starting to think a blog might be the better medium. Who knows? Maybe it turns into a book project someday. Although by the time I finish, all the pop culture references will probably be so outdated that historians will need footnotes.

Truthfully, it’s mostly to satisfy my need for goofiness.

If you happen to find this little corner of the internet, I hope you enjoy the ride.

I’ll be using AI for cartoon illustrations. ChatGPT has been the most consistent for me, though Gemini has its moments. ChatGPT once did such an alarmingly accurate cartoon of me tweeting from the toilet that I was too embarrassed to post it. It was hilarious. Also… disturbingly realistic.

I’ll also use AI to clean up the writing. The ideas, stories, and questionable judgment are mine. The structure just benefits from a little robotic supervision.

Anyway — welcome back. Or welcome for the first time.

Let’s see where this goes.
