Senior Sleuth Panel at Bouchercon

We had a great turnout for the Senior Sleuth panel at Bouchercon in San Diego. In preparation I tried an experiment: I went on ChatGPT and typed in “senior sleuth jokes.” The AI search engine returned with nine jokes. I used two of them on the panel:

1.     Why did the retired detective become a gardener? Because they wanted to keep digging up the truth, one plot at a time!

2.     Why did the old detective prefer solving crimes during the winter? Because they could always rely on cold cases to keep them busy!

Two observations:

1.     ChatGPT wants to be gender neutral.

2.     It likes explanation points.

Here’s a picture of me with the panel members Steph Broadribb, Ellen Kirschman, Lisa Q. Mathews and Anna St. John
