During a dinner I had with Jay Udall, he said, "Writing poetry is dancing with the dwende," a line that has stuck with me since. Beyond just poetry, any creative act is ultimately based in the idea of reaching out and touching the mythical, of embracing the unknown and unknowable. This blog is about the dance.

The Verdict
So, as it turns out, the turn-around was very, very quick.
Yes, it does mean a cut-back on bar stories, if not a discontinuance. I'm not yet certain whether I'm going to work fewer hours at the bar or quit altogether, but I'm definitely not doing three nights a week while teaching.

Hey, that's great Ali!
Kudos to you. Does this mean you'll be running out of new and fun bar stories?
Thanks.
