		<title>The Best of Everything</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ I really shouldn&#8217;t have, but I bought this pulp novel on Ebay a week ago and just got it in the mail.&#8211;it was just a $1.99.
I&#8217;m a sucker for these pulps from the 50s/60s&#8211;but especially if they&#8217;re film tie-ins, like this one:
The Best of Everything written by Rona Jaffe.
The movie starred Hope Lange, Stephen [...]]]></description>

		<title>Failing and Flying</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my attempt to write more often I went to the Brown Bag at San Diego Writers, Ink on Tuesday with Ted.
Brown Bag is a 1 hour drop in writing session downtown at the organization where Ted and I teach. It&#8217;s from noon to one so we often get folks coming in on their lunch [...]]]></description>

		<title>Room To Write</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#60;&#8211;got this photo at an antique store just outside Johnson Vermont last month. On the back it says &#8220;Uncle Fred&#8217;s brother Alvin. Hazel&#8217;s father.&#8221;
Today had one of the longest (and most productive) days of writing since I got back from Vermont.
Also, kind of nice to go with the hubby and write.
We went to down to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stories on Postcards</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Those who know me know that I LOVE postcards&#8211; well, vintage postcards anyway.
And, making my own. (more samples on my Flickr page to the right&#8211;&#62;)
Sometimes my friends, like Peter and Jess, give me old postcards they find or old family postcards&#8211;especially Jess, whose family seems to have thousands of them.
here&#8217;s one.  don&#8217;t remember where I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Madness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Still making my way through John Cheever&#8217;s bio; I should have taken it to Vermont with me, but instead I took the Journals of John Cheever (which is almost the same thing).
Great quote from Cheever, though (from pg. 375 of the bio):
&#8220;Why, I wonder, should my admirers always be mad.&#8221;
&#8211;does this make me mad?

		<title>How Do I Love Thee?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Poets Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Robert Browning carried out one of the most famous romantic correspondences in literary history. They first introduced themselves by epistolary means, and fell in love even before they had met in person.
In 1845,  they wrote 574 letters to each other over the course of twenty months.
They secretly got married in 1846. [...]]]></description>

		<title>VSC: The Last Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wow. I can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s over. My last day at Vermont Studio Center.
So much to say but my head is utterly pounding and the thoughts in my brain a-jumble &#8212; anxiety about travel tomorrow, the strange ritual of packing up after 5 weeks away, the  goodbyes to dozens of wonderful people. What is there to [...]]]></description>

		<title>VSC 6: Tonal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ The last resident reading was Sunday night and I read the opening of my book. I was the first reader of the night and got to show several slides from my research&#8211;documents, photos that inform my work. It was a great night, with very positive response from the audience. Very uplifting.
I shared the night [...]]]></description>
