Everyone is talking about generative AI. Everyone should be talking about generative retirement. We are deep-learning models. Just better looking.

Ain’t it good to know you’ve got a friend.

Most important? Don’t panic.

A year of weekly wine-fueled scheming-and-planning dinners, and in 2011 my next career began.

How on earth can you not think about what you wear? And why would you want to repeat, repeat, repeat. Unless you say and do the same thing, day after day?
