The best answer I have found is to implement my own cookie handler.  Would be 
awesome if couch handled a session id for guests!

This was a ton of help
http://kan.so/packages/details/cookies

require the cookie package

Then in a show

        /* set cookie for first request */
        if (typeof req.cookie.wc_guest === 'undefined') {
                cookies.setResponseCookie(req, res, opt);
        }
        else {
                if (!res.headers) {
                res.headers = {};
            }
                res.headers['Set-Cookie'] = req.cookie.wc_guest;
        }

That gets me started!
