ChatGPT Summary:

In Episode 28 of Diary of a Senior Geek, Gary reminisces about the early years of his daughter Amanda, affectionately called AJ.

Gary reflects on the bedtime routines he and his wife Debbie established, starting with reading to Amanda from birth. Despite his initial skepticism, Debbie's dedication to early reading paid off as Amanda developed favorite books and a love for stories. As she grew, bedtime included lullabies and songs, often leading Gary to improvise with campfire songs and Beatles tunes. The reading tradition continued until Amanda was about 14, ending naturally without a specific decision.

Gary also shares fond memories of their outdoor adventures, exploring parks guided by a Thomas's Guide, and enjoying frozen yogurt together. He humorously recounts how Amanda's first taste of chocolate yogurt led to her becoming a lifelong chocoholic. The episode concludes with reflections on his grandfathers and a thoughtful analysis of the Beatitudes, emphasizing the value of living an ethical life despite societal challenges.

Currently I'm mostly talking about current events and how they are affecting my family, friends, the world, and me. I also talk about my personal philosophy and things I've learned over seven-plus decades, and am still learning.
