I. I‘ve had a variety of jobs since I started working in 1966, but I retired from the last one - education director - in 2022. What I least liked was the job expectations of the higher authorities, and personnel turnovers.
II. 9 to 5 (movie) with Parton, Fonda, and Tomlin

“How will I stop loving him, Mama? Will I .... forget ?”
Mama sighed.
“Ah. That. Love doesn't fade or die, baby girl. People tell you it does, but it doesn't. If you love him now, you'll love him in ten years and in forty. Differently, maybe , a faded version, but he's part of you now. And you are part of him.”

Pick your favorite vowel, and write a ten line poem in which every word uses that vowel. It doesn‘t have to begin with that #vowel, or even use it prominently (i.e. get its main “sound” from the vowel). It just has to be in the word.

A Russian female bomber pilot and British journalist, two #TakeCharge people, hunt a notorious Nazi war criminal hiding in America after WWIl. One of the most intelligently suspenseful books I‘ve read.
