Today’s intended post:
LB: Gwen and I had a wonderful day together yesterday!
Mesmerized Listener: What did you guys do?
LB: Spent the whole day in bed apologizing to each other for apologizing to each other.
Then I went to Copilot and asked it to make a cartoon image of an elderly married couple in bed sleeping.
