Deep in the run
Of a summer stock play
You forgot your line
And the world opened before us
We could say 
anything
But said nothing instead
Wild-eyed and bewild
Erred
Shivering 
Over the edge
Of all our possible lives.

The moment dilated 
Peering over the edge

Hola Julio @hool415.bsky.social , with inspiration from @dragonslayerma.bsky.social and @davidbirch.bsky.social responses to your #Free40 #PromptCombo, a memory from a glad summer's past but let's call it Now.

"a brisk undressing" caught me, how autumn suddenly comes one day or overnight, how we shift off the faded threads and stand "winter ready", ready perhaps for something other than sleep. Lovely, Fidel!

At the strong end of a deep winter to remember, I take note of the first morning bird call of the year, one of a mated pair of northern cardinals living in my backyard. Yes, friend, survivor, the good times will return.

I cannot write as fast as I can type. Could I improve? Maybe if I learn shorthand.

I'm a sommelier and teach food and drink pairing. You'd think this makes my evaluations bulletproof but students are apt to use AI to write their tasting notes now. I've made a straitjacket for them which AI doesn't know.

I'm a drinks prof AND a history student. As a student, I take notes on my laptop. I could not write by hand half as well. As a prof, I've changed my evaluations b/c of AI. Most are in class and by hand. But I have one where I lean into AI and evaluate them on how well they used it.

There is a long list of things the administration has taken down or replaced. Some are like this, in public places. Others are displays within agency office buildings. I would really like someone to write something for us that tallies up as many of these examples as is possible to get info on
