I like them all, Getting Sidetracked the most, but what about Sidetracks?

I like that too, but sadly someone has already registered it.

Is that a painting of you with your garden behind you? It's beautiful.

Yes and no ... the figure is uncannily like me (even my wife recognized it) but it was pure chance as the work was all done by artificial intelligence following a few word "prompts" that I gave my computer. Pure chance that it somehow knew what I look like. The garden has similarities to what we have but the sun would be setting in the east if was genuine - AI can only do so much 😉

Thank you for your comment.

Hmm. I didn't know you could get AI to do that. But maybe your computer used a photo of you that might have been in your files? I thought someone painted it.

No photo involved - I simply asked for a picture in the style of a watercolor of a guy with a white beard and behind him a sunset garden ... it spat out several versions but this was the best. Here's the link"

I like Getting Sidetracked, because I'm always finding myself doing that.

I like the double meaning of Sidewalks.

Getting Sidetracked is slightly misleading since by your own admission you already are. I would suggest Sidetracked, although I also like Shan Evans’ proposal of Byways.

Whatever you decide to name it I look forward to reading your musings.

Cheers!

Sounds like a good idea. Getting sidetracked is good - happens to me a lot! Optional is good too.
