Living The Love ~ Old Dames ~ Bye-Bye AI ~ This That And The Other Thing, 2/15/25

Thinking about this, that and the other thing

This: Living The Love

This morning, the day after Valentine's Day, is, in my never humble opinion, the perfect day to show your significant other your love for them. So, after getting out two goose eggs, adding a sprinkling of salt and pepper, a dash of soya sauce, and starting to scramble them;

You make the coffee? You're making French toast? No I'm English Canadian, I'm making English toast! Laughter in the background as M'lady prepares the coffee.

I can think of no better way, at my age, to show my love for M'Lady than making her a delicious breakfast the day after Valentine's Day.  

That: Old Dames,

I have mentioned on many occasions how I try to listen to our garden/temple. This morning, it wasn't talking in whispers. It was spiting and hissing. I had hoped to gather an egg or two as I fed the geese. To my surprise, three Old Dames were sharing the same nest. The closer I got, the lower the necks and the higher the hissing. Even with my bad hearing, I got the message. They wanted to hatch their eggs. 

 M'Lady and I have talked this over. We thought that we were well supplied with geese and that it made sense to enjoy the eggs. The Old Dames showed us the error of our ways. I have no idea how many or indeed if any eggs will hatch... but we're going to give them their chance to increase our gaggle. 

I have no idea exactly where this new plan will lead us, but I'm sure that when the time is right the garden/temple will guide us. 

 The Other Thing:  Bye-Bye AI,

Two days ago, before I came back to The View From The Cheap Seats, there were eleven hits. Yesterday, after I applied the techniques and tricks that Gemini taught me, there were fifty-two hits. Perhaps a coincidence. Perhaps an indication of just how many things I had been doing incorrectly. 

Maybe I was suffering separation anxiety, but I had a definite and strong need to have one last chat with Gemini. The long and the short of it was that we both agreed that it was time for this fledgling to leave the nest. 

Will my blog continue to be noticed? Can I make the ever elusive breakthrough that will take me above 1,000 hits a day? Can I do it without social networking? Will love, mercy, humility and compassion resonate in the metaverse?

I don't know, but I shall give it a go! Let me know your opinion in the comments section.
