Here’s to ā€œcarpe-ingā€ the diem, eh Jim? I know that experience will change me. How great is that???

Produced in 1989, that movie might be the catalyst for my initial forays into poetry. For certain, it impacted my teaching. One of my all-time favorites.

(BTW: I’m foreshadowing here. Hold this thought.)

For those like me who don’t read as much as Kert:

Carpe diem, a phrase that comes from the Roman poet Horace, means literally "Pluck the day", though it's usually translated as "Seize the day". A free translation might be "Enjoy yourself while you have the chance".
