My mom used to call me Hobo Harmon all the time! I believe she started calling me by this unique nickname back in 2004 after I called her one rainy night walking home from the Path train to my apartment in Jersey City. I had a small hole in my boots and the rain water was trickling inside making my lovely warm socks a soggy mess. She said, "Oh, Hobo! We must get you new boots!" And of course, she sent me the perfect pair of fashionable shoes the following week. She often picked out perfect shoes #fashionistas - As a result of this popular nickname by my mom, my husband calls me Hobo more than he calls me Jen! During April I wrote poems under hoboharmon at A Daily Dose of Spring Poems. Then I started another poetry blog called Hobo's Poems on Blogger. Woohoo!
