It is time for my bi-annual reminder to change your clocks if you are in a area that does that . This is the start of Daylight Savings Time, so that means we are springing forward and losing one hour of sleep. In preparation, I had a nice nap this afternoon  

A question for you. I can't ask what age you are, as that is a no no in today's internets  so please don't supply it !! But I'm more curious when you retire, if you are retired, does the time switch mess you up? I know a lot of retired people have a set routine that they follow in order to carry on without havoc to their internal clocks, but I think of my dad who was all over the place on getting up at a certain time, and wondered if it affected retired people as much as maybe people that have a scheduled work week? I do know a lot of people work for themselves and they set their hours, so maybe they fit in the retired group too.

Now one important thingy to bring up before I forget. We only have 21 days before you Poetry Anthology is due . This years theme is Diversity! I'm curious to see how such a word of such vast interpretation is handled by our different poets. Experienced and not so experienced. We want to see them all!

Now onto the Wrap!

Monday, Cia had to get the ball rolling for Monday, with an all new Can't Stop Reading feature:

Then on Tuesday, Myr came in and dressed in his assless chaps (yes, I know all chaps are assless ), he brought a Deep Dive:

We then took Wednesday as a day of rest until Val revved up her engines to get everyone going on the Poetry Anthology on Thursday:

Finally on Friday, Aditus brought us a couple of new Prompts. You need to write a letter to someone :

Finally Myr did his Myr thing and brought us seven new Words of the Day:

beleaguer, ornate, labyrinthine, heuristic, rejuvenate, solace, reticent
