Where do we get the word November?

November is the latin word for the number “9”. Prior to 325 BC (or BCE if you want to be politically correct) there were only 10 months in the Roman Calendar and November was the 9th month. After 325 BC, 2 additional months were added (January & February) so that made November the 11th month, but they left its name November.

I’ve always been intrigued by the word “Twilight”. Once in a movie I heard someone say…”Twilight is when everything is in silhouette”. Turns out, the true definition is much more elaborate than that.

Twilight doesn’t start until AFTER the sun sets. It’s the amount of diminishing light remaining as the sun slips further below the horizon. There are 3 categories of Twilight:

Civil Twilight is the first 6 degrees the sun slips below the horizon. You can usually still read a book in this amount of light. You can’t see any stars. Governments use this measure to close parks and make laws.

Nautical Twilight is the next 6% and it’s named this because it’s dark enough to see the really bright stars that sailors use to navigate while they can still see the horizon..

Astronomical Twilight is the last 6% where you can see more stars. This is the period right before official night, or as dark as the nights going to get.

“The Laramie Project” is a play based on the aftermath of the 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard, a young gay man, in Laramie, Wyoming. The Tectonic Theater Project interviewed over 200 residents of Laramie over a year and a half, and the play uses their words to explore the community’s reactions and the impact of the hate crime. The play delves into the depths of human behavior, showcasing both the capacity for hatred and the potential for empathy and love. Decades later, Matthew Shepard’s story continues to resonate, urging society to confront the consequences of bullying and hate. “The Laramie Project” uses a documentary-style approach, incorporating actual interviews, journal entries, and news reports. This unique Idyllwild Arts production also incorporates live musical performances.
