I am doing a little one day workshop, actually 90 minutes, I think, for Poetry in Place March 26 at the Open Space for the big poetry shindig there. Other than that, not teaching this term, writing on my own--I do attend a salon you would be most welcome to join 2nd and 4th Wed nites 7-9, and Fixed N Free Poetry reading the fourth Thursday every month at The Source in Nob Hill--same as DCDS but 4th Thurs. F&F is a very supportive audience open non-mic reading . Where are you now?

It feels good to write about what's going on behind the story. As you know, we only have so much time during the newscast. Take care and thank you again!
