		<title>Interstitial Moment:</title>
		<description><![CDATA[H
On the airplane rides to Spartenberg SC for a conference and back again, I have been reading May Sarton’s At Seventy: A Journal. And realizing—as I often do when reading poetry and personal narrative—how little I know about the world and how shallowly I think about things.

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes life gets away from me, and I do not get to this journal. So a quick catch up of life, books, and the interstices.

Doctors&#8211;who can keep you waiting for an hour before bringing you in for a quick meeting; lawyers who charge more per hour than anyone else; editors who obviously don&#8217;t need to get back to you when they say they will because what [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A lot of book stuff twirling around:
How Do Dinosaurs Say I Love You is on the New York Times bestseller list again, this time at #8, as well as on the PW Bestseller list at #13. Heidi wondered aloud why they should be such different numbers and I explained that they probably had different stores [...]]]></description>

Book stuff: Received the lovely first proofs for Elsie&#8217;s Bird, the picture book with David Small. Went over them carefully. Sent in email three of the first finishes for Sleeping Monsters with absolutely stunningly funny pictures by Kelly Murphy. [...]]]></description>
