		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m still recovering from my weekend &#8211; Smith College reunion and commencement. Need I say  more? Ok, lots of food and fancy drink, intense conversations contrasted with boisterous fun, sleep-overs, hot tubs, mingling, singing, perfect sunshine and glowing lanterns. For some reason I thought it was a good idea to also sign up to volunteer for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I fell asleep in a chair last night. I don&#8217;t fall asleep in chairs, with the television on, with my head resting in an awkward position that will leave me with a crick in the neck. I haven&#8217;t fallen asleep in a chair since I was a toddler (toddlers will sleep anywhere). Clearly I was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear word-nerds, we&#8217;re going to do something a little different this week. If you follow NPR on Facebook you may have already heard about their, &#8220;Three Minute Fiction&#8221; contest. I only just heard about it even though they&#8217;re already on round 11. The basic gist is that you submit a short flash fiction piece (approximately [...]]]></description>

Write more poetry? Perform and read your poetry in front of an audience? Attend a poetry reading? I watched more performance poetry since I prefer [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The cat cleans herself next to me. It soothes me. Her tiny silky skull, her pink tongue, the soft grays and creams and orange of her fur. It soothes me to know that she is unaware of the foibles of humans. She can&#8217;t read the news, or understand the images on the screen. All she [...]]]></description>

A few years ago my sister lived there. It&#8217;s rattling, as all tragedies that feel too close to home are. Everyone I know and love is safe. I get to say that. Several people don&#8217;t.

		<description><![CDATA[I guess it&#8217;s obvious from the title. I didn&#8217;t meet Queen Latifah. Here&#8217;s what happened. There was supposed to be a smallish reception after the Women&#8217;s Leadership Conference where Queen Latifah would be, and the hype was that the reception would be small enough to meet her. There was a reception, but the organizers didn&#8217;t screen anyone [...]]]></description>

I could feel the outer tendrils of it this afternoon &#8211; a gray-white brooding sky, dropping temperatures, and that peculiar looming stillness that precedes storms. Though I never can tell if that stillness is imagined, something to do with anticipation. Several years ago I and about 100 other people [...]]]></description>
