“But he’s learning anyway”
There’s something on your to-do list you’ve been meaning to learn for years — and somewhere along the way, you decided you probably just can’t. I’m 72, newly retired, and I’m here to tell you that’s not true. I’m proving it, one embarrassing failure at a time.
Over time this site will grow into a collection of journeys. Some of them I’ve already started:
- Granddaddy Can’t Find Saturn — the telescope saga continues
- Granddaddy Can’t Hit a 7-Iron — golf, humility, and AI coaching
- Granddaddy Can’t Cook — cooking for the woman who taught me what good food tastes like and others
- Granddaddy Can’t Read the Bible — 40 years of studying and teaching Scripture, and I still discovered I wasn’t reading it the way it deserved
- Granddaddy Can’t Stop Asking Questions — Why the way most people use AI misses the whole point — and what I stumbled onto instead.
Each section will have its own posts, its own failures, its own small wins. Some of them, if they become Granddaddy CAN, will eventually become books. The first one — on reading the Bible as someone who has spent 40 years studying and teaching it, and still found there was more to discover — is already in progress.
