[Profs and Pints DC](https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc) presents: **“Robert Frost’s Winter Poems,”** an exploration of a beloved poet’s thoughts on the season, with Michael Manson, former lecturer on literature at American University and past president of the Robert Frost Society. [Advance tickets: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Available at [https://www.ticketleap.events/tickets/profsandpints/hill-center-frost-poems](https://www.ticketleap.events/tickets/profsandpints/hill-center-frost-poems) .] “Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow.” So begins “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening,” which ranks as one of the most popular American poems of the 20th century and helped cement Robert Frost's status as of one of our nation’s most beloved poets. Come to the Hill Center on Capitol Hill as we approach the darkest evening of the year for a talk that will have you delighting in Frost and embracing the arrival of winter. Winter challenges modern urban Americans less immediately than it did Frost, who owned several New England farms. Yet the questions Frost raised through the metaphor of winter remain vital. Are humans meant to live and thrive on this planet, or is existence some cruel joke? How do we explain human resilience, the ability to keep pushing through despite the odds? Is there some force above us, in life itself, or some stubbornness at the heart of being human? What does it mean to thrive? Frost raised questions like these in his poetry without answering them. For him, the answers are to be found in the process of making. Whether we’re writing poems, keeping gardens, playing sports, building careers, or raising families, we are all turning chaos into order. In all pursuits, Frost said, “strongly spent is synonymous with kept,” and he is inspired by those times when humans spend their lives strongly and thus keep them. Be on hand as Michael Manson, a veteran scholar of Frost, reads and discusses Frost's poems on winter and other subjects. He’ll cover some of Frost’s best-known poems—“Stopping by Woods,” “Desert Places,” “The Wood-Pile”—as well as lesser-known works such as “Afterflakes,” “Questioning Faces,” and “Good-bye and Keep Cold.” The experience will be magical, and you’ll end up with a different perspective on the season ahead.

Socrates Café are gatherings around the world where people from different backgrounds get together and exchange philosophical perspectives based on their experiences, using the Socratic Method of inquiry (asking and answering questions). Today, there are hundreds of such gatherings, coordinated by volunteers, worldwide. Though this may be considered a "philosophy" group, there are no rules as to what is discussed. Usually, the topics revolve around social concerns, morality, and the first principles of things. Please post any questions you would like the group to consider on the meetup event's page; in the comments section. Several days before the meetup I will post a link to a voting form in the comments section, and everyone can vote on their preferred questions. The questions with the highest and second highest number of votes will be discussed. Hope to see you there! -Brian

****If online dating feels oddly exhausting, it’s not you. You’re just investing in the wrong moment.**** For Women: The Moment Men Decide What Actually Drives the Swipe Quick thought… If you’re ready to buy a car, you go on Carvana. You look closely. You invest time. Why? Because if you like it and you’re ready, it’s actually available to you. But you wouldn’t walk up and down your street studying your neighbors’ cars, overthinking every detail, wondering if maybe someday they’d let you buy one. That would be exhausting. Rrrright?! Online dating often works the same way and no one ever explains that part. We end up over investing time, energy, and thought in places where decisions are actually made much faster and much earlier than we think. Listen sister, this is not about trying harder. It’s about seeing differently. Before our Ugly Sweater Christmas Party, we’re hosting a FUN, playful, eye opening conversation just for women. We’ll break this down in real time and yes, we’ll actually look at profiles together in a no judgment way. Bring your cell phone, sister. This is interactive, practical, and meant to make you laugh while learning something that immediately changes how you approach online dating. Come one hour early. Insight first. Sweaters after. We’ll keep this small so it stays interactive. We’re not fixing you. We’re fixing the lens. xo, Janine, Nina AND most importantly only FRAZIER 202-271-0922
