On my way back to the Mitten for Thanksgiving after a few days in SF. I can now drive around without GPS. Interesting things are happening at Forever Labs, and I visited with some friends and YC batchmates. I have a SF business/social circle that has established some roots. I am excited about the future, and am pleased to be able to work with some of the people that I am. I don't think I like clear boundaries between work and life, and I am happy to say that I have few.

  mk_RSS: I am going to paint tonight; I am looking forward to it. My Casio Illuminator is out of battery. I bought some Reeboks last night. I'm excited to pick up my daughter from her grandmother's on my way home from DTW. lil, I need a December poem. I have a secret project. I need to make an appetizer. thenewgreen and I did this podcast last week.

Any December poem? Or a famous one? Do you want a poem about hating Xmas and the weather or one about the days getting shorter or one more reflective and philosophical? Does the word "December" have to be in it? Should I commence a hubski writing prompt and squeeze every bit of Decemberism out of the community?

Oh I just meant a poem to be memorized this month. It needn't be December-themed. I thought you might have a suggestion. I picked up The Rhodora quick.

Did you do "Acquainted with the Night" already (Frost). Another very good to know poem is this one behttps://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/theodore-roethke

"The Waking" Theodore Roethke

Please post the list of memorized poems somewhere. You might want to memorize something more fun and useful. "The Charge of the Light Brigade" perhaps, any of Hamlet's soliloquies, or the Gettysburg Address, perhaps.

Maybe I'll add my poem memorization project to my profile. Or I can make a post for it and save it. I'll do that.
