		<description><![CDATA[Thanksgiving brings about enforced conviviality with people I wouldn&#8217;t ordinarily hang out with. Ah, the joys of family.
I&#8217;m bugged now because there is a certain family member who is highly opinionated and thinks highly of herself and her situation and is rather dismissive of me. Because I&#8217;m so damn polite, I never confront this person. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Eating simply doesn&#8217;t mean one has to eat poor quality food. A long long time ago a friend invited us to dinner. She was totally into mega complicated cooking. She asked what we liked and I said, simple foods. I don&#8217;t remember what she serve us but it was unremarkable.
30 years later I now have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An interesting meditation on naming the world in today&#8217;s New York Times. The author is a scientist and writes about taxonomy and how it is a dying practice &#8211; that so few of us can name things. The author ends by stating that by naming things, it changes things. It changes our relationship to things. [...]]]></description>

And here I am worrying about tenure and publishing and career building. Why am I working so hard? What am I trying to accomplish? What is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the past year or so my stomach has been unhappy. In fact, my whole body has been experiencing just a general sense of malaise. I just chalked it up to being of a certain age. But I&#8217;ve been thinking about when certain symptoms appear and started tracking what&#8217;s going on. As a result I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

But there is a need for fresh ideas and to be able to bounce ideas around. And that&#8217;s where twitter and facebook come in. Those two tools are becoming more [...]]]></description>

One of my former students (who&#8217;s now a facebook friend), just posted that her Grandmother died. Over the past year there have been numerous posts by this person about her Grandmother&#8217;s deteriorating health and the [...]]]></description>

When I read a poem, I roll it around in my mouth like a lovely wine and appreciate that subtle nuances that make up its many layers. The same with the novel [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve placed myself in exile from Facebook and Twitter. Too many distractions, and too many people saying stupid things that were making me angry. I was taught don&#8217;t say anything if you can&#8217;t say something nice. Well, the past few days I&#8217;ve been wanting to rip a new one for a few people. So I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My cat on my lap is calming. She&#8217;s a skittery soul, so when she&#8217;s at peace, I don&#8217;t want to disturb her. Here she is on my lap (technically my outstretched legs), so I am forced to sit, quietly, enforced meditation. She doesn&#8217;t mine the clack of keys on the laptop (which is indeed on [...]]]></description>
