		<description><![CDATA[This weekend I&#8217;ve been working sporadically on the chapter that&#8217;s been hanging over my head for many months now. It&#8217;s gaining some kind of shape. It needs a lot of work, but I&#8217;m no longer discouraged.
The truth, however, is that when writing gets done, the teaching stuff falls by the wayside. The stuff that has [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve not been doing much writing lately because I&#8217;ve been struggling with figuring out what I want to say or write about. Writing turned into an obligation rather than a way of sharing my thinking and participating in a broader dialogue about the things that are important to me.
Today I saved an article from a [...]]]></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>

		<description><![CDATA[I spent the last week or so analyzing data from a series of focus groups and interviews. This week I&#8217;m working on writing up the findings. It seems easy at the outset &#8211; as I look at my analysis, but then as I start writing I begin to better understand the subtle nuances that I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m contemplating my research agenda and my summer teaching load. I&#8217;ve come to the realization that trying to do too much results in too little being done.
For instance, I am reworking the summer course. It used to be taught by a different person, who did a fine job, but the readings didn&#8217;t work for me [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I came away from AERA with so many ideas. I had a great extended conversation with one of the smartest people I know, and she really pushed me to think about some important issues. As such, I now am thinking about writing a literature review that addresses at least some of her concerns. And there&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

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>

		<description><![CDATA[The other day, my daughter and I were playing a game with word tiles that we called &#8220;Bad Emo Poetry.&#8221; It consisted of  randomly selecting words, randomly mixing them and reading them with expression. Priceless.
It got me thinking about twitter poetry. So I&#8217;m playing a game with myself now.
The Rules: Randomly select a handful of [...]]]></description>
