Thank you for letting me be a part of what you are doing, Nicola! Looking forward to seeing this project through to the end.

AI photo restoration I have a black and white photo-booth snapshot of my grandparents taken in 1941 right after they got married. It’s torn, bent, water damaged, discolored, and the paper developed something like scales. I photographed it with my iPhone 13 and started photo editing it. It was going to be a long tedious process. After reading your article, I followed your link and uploaded the image to the site. The software worked incredibly well. It even moved the torn chunk a little to try to realign it. Half the work is done and the detail in their eyes, nose, mouth and hair is probably not something I could have achieved.

Thank you, Kim, for featuring my writing journey on your blog! I never even imagined an article like this from anyone. It’s really cool. My philosophy is to grow where I’m planted. Pebbles don’t complain about where they are dropped in the lake, they just go ahead and make a splash right there. My first email to my list was to eight subscribers.

My parents parted ways with many books in a purge about 20 years ago. I hate that because there were some books in their collection that I wish I had today. Not that anyone else misses them, my mom still has a wall full of books.

Occultic October An “objectification of evil” is a good way to put it, Nicola. The sewage spill of occultic symbolism blithely broadcast by media and corporations from their clueless marketing goofs gets picked up by individuals in society and happily paraded as “fun” and amplified by social media. As if a celebration of death through noxious, occultic, human sacrifice rituals is somehow something that anyone should call fun. It’s not just absurd and ignorant, it’s intentionally inhumane and anti-Christian.

I’m looking forward to reading this in serial form with a little breather between chapters.
