Welcome Jake.  Poems?  Did you say poems?  We can always use more poems 
around here.  I think we all look forward to a new voice.  I've not 
been a very active list member for several years, suffering from too 
much computer code monkeying and too little creative outleting.  
Outleting--I'm sure it's a word.  But I've been challenging myself on 
several fronts lately.  Physically, to turn myself back into a runner 
who can run long distances again.  Mentally, to rediscover the woman 
who used to write from some place deep inside on a regular basis.  I 
don't want to be my 25 year old self.  I want to be the woman who is 
nearly twice that age but has a tiddly bit of that 25 year old self 
shining out of my wrinkly little eyes.  And write about how that feels.

Welcome.

Julie
