Now that the holidays have passed, and the kids have gone back to school (YES!), I've been able to recover from the end of year wrap-up. I'm actually looking forward to teaching a new round of classes next week. Didn't know how tired I was until I put the focus back on my homelife. Suffice it to say I needed the break.

As you know, I'm doing another poem-a-day challenge. And even though it's been a struggle, I actually like everything I've written. Some need more work than others, of course, but the so-called stress I create for myself when I do one of these exercises is ... pleasant. Unfortunately, if I don't write first thing in the morning, I'll stay up late a trying to write a draft. Maybe tonight won't be so bad.

Much of my free time has been spent working on the Massachusetts Poetry Festival. Our committee just completed the review process for proposals. There's lots of work to be done, but it's good work.
