Since November wasn’t named after me ( I was named sometime in the twentieth century; November seems to be older), this wouldn’t be the month to create a new month.
However, freaks of grammar set aside, I propose that the month between September and December move away from the number name convention and simply be called Karen. Little known fact: I used to be known as Karen Eggnog. Maybe traces still remain on the interwebs, but mostly just as a memory.
OK, time to get to work on the more revolutionary TDM/7300 project….
GloMoSto is short for Global Month of Storytelling and it’s inspired by NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writing Month and Story Corps. It actually is a floating “month” that can be declared by any individual at any time when they feel like taking three days to document their lives in whatever way they’d like. Three-day sabbaticals may be saved up to a year or used monthly.
Marge Percy’s poem featured in today’s Writer’s Alamanac suggests the value of reflection on days lived . . .
October nor’easterby Marge Piercy
Leaves rip from the trees
still green as rain scuds
off the ocean in broad grey
scimitars of water hard
as granite pebbles flung
in my face.
Sometimes my days are torn
from the calendar,
hardly touched and gone,
like leaves too fresh
still to fall littering
sodden on the bricks.
But I have had them—
torrents of days. Who
am I to complain they
shorten? I used them
hard, wore them out
and down, grabbed
at what chance offered.
If I stand stripped
and bare, my bones
still shine like opals
where love rubbed sweetly,
hard, against them.“October nor’easter” by Marge Piercy, from The Crooked Inheritance. © Knopf, 2006.
The Mayor of Jesseson has declared a new month, the month of Rhonuary which will be inserted to the Gregorian calendar after October 31st, 2013.
The month of Rhonuary will contain 6 days.On the first day of Rhonuary starting Ronuary 1, 2014 and continuing forever more every one will have enough to eat.
On the second day of Rhonuary of everyone will sleep in and there will be no work and no school and it will be a day of rest.
On the third day everyone gets to learn something new that they want to learn and are excited to share with others.
On the forth day everyone will help someone else.
On the fifth day of Rhonuary it will be a time of planning for the RLove to continue for the rest of the year.

By November I am starting to miss those `ary` type months… January, February… so I prose we change the name of our month to Transitionary. This totally makes sense since November is a month to move (or transition) from Fall to Winter in the northern hemisphere and Spring to Summer in the southern hemisphere. During this month there should be an official day of transition where everyone get the day to change all of their house decorations, door wreaths and closets in anticipation of the new season.
Sandervary.
I asked some friends for their opinion on today’s challenge. All their festivals and activities for their imaginary month were to do with celebrating the fine things in life and enjoying themselves. I decided to adopt that theme for my month. Taking advantage of my surname, I came up with Swiftuary. This is a very, very short month. It only lasts 3 days. During this time people are encouraged to live out their dreams, indulgences, and fantasies. The rules on money and officialdom ate temporarily suspended and people het to live the life they’be secretly always wanted. The social and financial inequalities are broken down for the duration of the month and value instead comes from the joy, happiness, excitement, and reward of being able to live out your dreams. As it is a swift month you have tonpack as much into it ad possible and live as fully, openly, and freely as you can

Once again the creative geniuses at ds106 have paved the way for creative problem solving. Just in time for the 2013 holiday season, Ordember will be inserted in the annual calendar between November and December. This adjustment to time will solve many issues. During the month of Ordember seasonal activities will include items such as rereading favorite books, playing with new gadgets, eating chocolate bonbons and taking long walks.
Scrambletember is a rather hedonistic arrival on the calendar. Every first, second, third and fourth Monday is a public holiday during which the public are encouraged to sleep in and play music while eating sugary breakfast cereals. By tradition every second Friday is a half day. Although these half days are not officially recognised, employers seeking to enforce their staff to work after midday are often subjected to verbal abuse and vicious beatings from the public.
