I do wonder what an LLM would do to/for/with it?  Probably mangle it a 
little.

I read it *for* your voice as much as anything... we are a 
half-generation apart, but many of your childhood experiences vaguely 
paralleled my own.  The fact of your own moving on to a much more 
worldly and high-tech career was also comfortingly familiar.

I would wish yet more such memoirs from this crowd, but not sure how I'd 
feel if everybody jumped in and asked their favorite LLM to write it for 
them!
