Dearest peeps I've been quiet because I've been working hard on finishing memorizing the 182-line poem that I'll be reciting at the poetry circle next Tuesday. I still have 48 lines to go - that's eight lines a day. To be stuck in my mind so firmly that when I recite, I'll be telling a story, not trying to remember things. I did what I know so far, for Hubby last night, didn't miss a beat, and he said, "I was there!"  Exxxcellent.......  I'm excited. Inviting family and a few friends to what is usually a small meeting. If I pull it off, it will be a good performance.
   I'm thinking about recording it. We'll see.....
