I worry that when all the post-death work -sorting, notifications, paperwork, having a memorial service here around the end of March or early April- is done, that's when Hilde's absence will really hit hard. Building a new life without her will be... terrifying.

Day 4 without Hilde. Yard & garden this morning, then 2:00 writers group meeting at library.

Caregiving for Hilde the last year meant no time to write much or critique other members' work, or much social life at all. Missed the monthly workshops. We'll see how I cope.

Not having the best day. Woke up missing my lovely wonderful intelligent wife very much. It's almost 8 months since she died. I have lost my purpose. I don't know what to do now.

The Mourners. Trees standing over a fallen tree.

The end of the year is close.

No resolutions coming

No bucket list

No metrics to track

Just going to live every day like it is a gift

I owe that to her, this is my life debt.

Morning moonset. Unfortunately, clouds on the horizon. Fortunately, I got to this view of the CA coast. Slight breeze, perfect morning. Enjoying the beauty, embracing the grief of loosing Reneé. The grief reminds us that we loved and are loved by those we mourn.

I’m eating zyn like candy right now…I hate this holiday season #Widower #DarkAtFiveOclock

What is left of #Autumn. A Few leaves on this persimmon tree noticed on my #walk.

I find that exercise is a great way to combat #trauma, #grief, and #stress. My wife passed last year and #exercise has been a comfort for me. If you are a #widower hang in there, walk and exercise if you can. #healing

Went out to the southern Big Sur. Set up for an image in Redwood Gulch. Inspired by my love for Reneé. Joy and love are such powerful emotions. More powerful than I ever knew, I feel them now as the inverse of grief.

Suzanne Somers' Widower Sparks Debate After Revealing He's Created An AI Robot Clone Of Her Alan Hamel, the husband of the late actor Suzanne Somers—best knwon for her starring role on _Three's Company_ —has revealed he is working on an AI-generated version of his late wife, telling _People_ magazine that he is working on "a really interesting project, the Suzanne AI Twin." Somers died a day shy of her 77th birthday in October 2023 after a long battle with breast cancer. Somers was first diagnosed more than two decades ago and dealt with the disease largely in private. Her passing inspired an outpouring of grief from many old co-workers and longtime friends. The AI robot was modeled after Somers and trained on all 27 of her books, along with “hundreds of interviews” she gave throughout her career. **Hamel said he found the robot “perfect” after interacting with it at the conference:** > _"It was Suzanne. I asked her a few questions, and she answered them, and it blew me and everybody else away. When you look at the finished one next to the real Suzanne, you can't tell the difference. It's amazing."_ > _"I've been with Suzanne for 55 years, so I know what her face looks like, and when I just look at the two of them side by side, I really can't tell which one is the real and which one is the AI."_ According to Hamel, Somers had expressed interest in the idea years before her death. **He said the topic first came up in the 1980s, when the couple met inventor and AI scientist Ray Kurzweil:** > _"It was Suzanne's idea. She said, 'I think it'll be very interesting, and we'll provide a service to my fans and to people who have been reading my books who really want and need information about their health. So that's the reason we did it."_ Hamel admitted it was “a little strange” when he first spoke to Somers’ AI. But over time, he said, he “forgot about the fact that I was talking to a robot” and grew accustomed to it. He said he hopes longtime fans who “miss her terribly” will have a similar experience. He plans to make the AI available online so people can “come and just hang out with her.” **You can see the Somers AI in action below.** > — (@) **You can see a news report about Hamel's announcement below.** - YouTubewww.youtube.com **The news was not well-received.** > — (@) > — (@) > — (@) > — (@) > — (@) > — (@) > — (@) > — (@) > — (@) During her life, Somers wrote more than two dozen books—many of them about health and fitness—and made "hundreds of millions" as the spokeswoman in a series of infomercials for the Thighmaster. Hamel added that the interviews and material drawn from Somers’ books for the AI project were cleared by the vitamin and supplement company Life Extension, which he said can vouch for the AI’s accuracy. Hamel said "the last thing we wanted was to have any issues about providing interviews about people’s health issues that were incorrect."

Hollywood Icon Robert Redford passes away at 89 Actor, director, and producer Robert Redford, who was both the quintessential handsome Hollywood leading man and an influential supporter of independent films through his Sundance Institute, had died at the age of 89, The New York Times reported, citing his publicist. Once dismissed as "just another California blond", Redford's charm and craggy good looks made him one of the industry's most bankable leading men for half a century, and one of the world's most recognizable and best-loved movie stars. Redford made hearts beat faster in romantic roles such as "Out of Africa," got political in "The Candidate" and "All the President's Men," and skewered his golden-boy image in roles like the alcoholic ex-rodeo champ in "The Electric Horseman" and middle-aged millionaire who offers to buy sex in "Indecent Proposal." > View this post on Instagram A post shared by Variety (@variety) > He used the millions he made to launch the Sundance Institute and Festival in the 1970s, promoting independent filmmaking long before it was fashionable to do so. He never won the best actor Oscar, but his first outing as a director - the 1980 family drama "Ordinary People" - won Oscars for best picture and best director. Yet he remained best known for the two early movies he made with Paul Newman - the 1969 western caper "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid", and "The Sting" (1973), both of which became classics. Despite their chemistry and long personal friendship, Redford was never to team up again with Newman, who died in 2008. "Butch Cassidy" made blue-eyed Redford an overnight star, but he never felt comfortable with celebrity or the male starlet image that persisted late into his 60s. "People have been so busy relating to how I look, it's a miracle I didn't become a self-conscious blob of protoplasm. It's not easy being Robert Redford," he once told New York magazine. > View this post on Instagram A post shared by HOLLYWOODLAND PHOTOS 🎥 (@hollywoodlandphotos) > Intensely private, he bought land in remote Utah in the early 1970s for his family retreat and enjoyed a level of privacy unknown to most superstars. He was married for more than 25 years to his first wife before their divorce in 1985. In 2009, he married for a second time, to German artist and longtime partner Sibylle Szaggars. Redford used his star status to seek out challenging film projects and to quietly champion environmental causes such as the Natural Resources Defense Council and the National Wildlife Federation. "Some people have analysis. I have Utah," he once remarked. Although he never showed an interest in entering politics, he often espoused a liberal viewpoint. In a 2017 interview, during the presidency of Donald Trump, he told Esquire magazine that "politics is in a very dark place right now" and that Trump should "quit for our benefit". > View this post on Instagram A post shared by Gala (@galafr) > ### Dreams of being a painter Born in the Los Angeles beach city of Santa Monica on Aug. 18, 1937, to what he described as a "lower working class family", Redford landed a college baseball scholarship but lost it after spending too much time partying. Deciding he wanted to be an artist, he moved to Italy and later to New York to study painting. He enrolled in drama school to try his hand at theatrical set design ("Acting seemed ludicrous to me," he recalled), but was persuaded to take to the stage. By 1959, he was a full-time performer on Broadway and later found work on television. He made his movie debut in 1962 in a low-budget film called "Warhunt", but first won attention in "Barefoot in the Park" (1967), opposite Jane Fonda. He turned down the role taken by Dustin Hoffman in "The Graduate" ("I never did look like a 21-year-old college student who'd never been laid," he said later) and held out for "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid." The 1970s brought "The Way We Were" and "The Great Gatsby". FILE PHOTO: Actor Robert Redford, star of the drama film "The Clearing", poses January 18, 2004 in Park City, Utah as he arrives for the premiere screening of the film at the Sundance Film Festival. REUTERS/Fred Prouser/File Photo From the 1980s, he devoted more time to producing films and establishing the Sundance Institute—a year-round workshop for aspiring filmmakers—and the Sundance Festival, which has become one of the most influential independent film showcases in the world. In 2001, he won an honorary, or lifetime achievement, Oscar. Redford remained active in films as an actor and producer right up to the end of his life. In 2017, he reunited with Fonda for the Netflix drama "Our Souls at Night," a romance between a widow and a widower. "I live for sex scenes with him," Fonda told journalists when the film premiered in Venice. "He's a great kisser, so it was fun to kiss him in my 20s and to kiss him again in my almost 80s." Redford said at the time that it would be one of his last films as an actor and that he was planning to focus more on directing and his first love – art.
