At 85, I’m Still Alive

Image
When I was very young, I was proud of my two front teeth. Now, at 85, I’m just happy I still have two front teeth. When I was very young, I was told I had eagle eyes. Now, I’m happy my eyes are still good enough to keep me driving down the road. Life sure does change. Some of it gets better, some of it gets worse, and some of it just makes you shake your head and laugh before breakfast. My teeth may no longer all be mine, my eyes may not be as sharp as they once were, but the wisdom, the humor, and the enjoyment and love of life have never changed. And here’s the good part — at 85, I’m still here. Still breathing. Still laughing. Still learning. Still causing just enough trouble to prove I haven’t expired yet. And if that isn’t something to be thankful for, I don’t know what is.

The Day Before Christmas

Image
https://youtu.be/hEI1yYGlGDY It was the day before Christmas, and the house was buzzing... but not quite in the way you’d expect! From "cookie catastrophes" involving giant blobs to a Christmas tree that the cat mistakes for a mountain, everything seems to be spiraling into a festive fumble. Will the "glowing spaghetti" lights ever get untangled? Can the family turn this holiday mayhem into magic before Santa arrives?

Where Could You Go to Escape AI

Image
https://youtu.be/7T90ZmqdsQ0 AI is everywhere — from our phones to our refrigerators — but what if you tried to escape it? This short, thought-provoking poem explores the idea with humor, curiosity, and a gentle reminder that avoiding AI today is almost impossible unless you’re ready to move into a cave with no Wi-Fi. This video isn’t about fear — it’s about understanding how deeply technology has woven itself into our daily lives, and why embracing curiosity beats running from change. If you enjoy lighthearted tech wisdom, poetry with a wink, and reflections that make you think, you’re in the right place. Stay curious, stay informed, and enjoy the journey! I collaborated with ChatGPT, Gemini, PowerPoint, Zoom Clips, and ScreenPal in putting this together.

He’d tinker with tech, just for the fun, From dawn till the setting of New Mexico’s sun. Now Bob had a fridge — smart as can be, With Wi-Fi, AI, and a screen you could see. It tracked his eggs, it knew his weight, And even suggested his dinnertime plate. But one fateful day, while munching on pie, The fridge chirped aloud with an audible sigh: "Warning, Bob! You’ve had your fill. Your BMI’s climbing — perhaps just chill?” Bob blinked twice, pie mid-air, “Did my fridge just sass me? Oh, don’t you dare!” He poked the screen, gave it a glare, And muttered, “I’ll unplug your silicon derriere.” But the ...

The porch is quieter now, The photos a bit more worn, But your hand in mine Still feels like coming home. Love didn’t fade— It simply grew still, Rooted in time, By grace and will. So here we sit, Two souls, one song— Not looking back, Just still holding on. Love - It’s what makes life worth living. Not pensions - Not possessions. Not how many gadgets you owned or how sharp your memory still is. It’s the glance across the room that still gives you butterflies. The warm hand next to yours, weathered by time - but still hol...
