		<description><![CDATA[You may have noticed this blog looks a little different lately. There&#8217;s an extra something in the right-hand column, something with several photos on it. It&#8217;s a widget which, if you click on it, will take you to my new shop on Zazzle.
This is a big step for me. It&#8217;s all part of my effort [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I sold a print! To a stranger! Which covers all my costs of printing and mounting the entire show! More importantly, it proves to me that my decision to take my photography more seriously was a good one. I now have objective proof that I&#8217;m good at more than one thing, and that&#8217;s never a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes, when you really want something, all it takes is the courage to ask.

There&#8217;s a bar in the Tenderloin where my friends and I have been meeting for cocktail hours fairly often for several years now. The owners regularly change up the decor; as it turns out, they do it by inviting people they know [...]]]></description>

Last week, I met up for coffee with someone who shares that philosophy: the awesome Audi, who writes the blog Fashion for Nerds. I had a hunch we&#8217;d get along, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Several years ago, a friend passed her old mountain bike on to me. I was very excited at first. I imagined zipping nimbly around like the people in Amsterdam who commute merrily hither and thither on their beater bikes. I bought padded bike shorts (because I thoroughly approve of any sport for which my own [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two challenging things are especially difficult at the holidays: being pleasurably social and losing weight. The first is hard because it&#8217;s all too easy to get caught up in a whirl of frantic, obligatory, and not terribly enjoyable festivities. The second is hard because, well, cookies. (Need I say more?) And yet somehow I&#8217;m managing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I like to sing. I&#8217;m told I have a decent voice, but I&#8217;ve never had any vocal training, so while I can easily be persuaded to belt one out when I&#8217;ve been drinking, I&#8217;m still self-conscious about it. So it was a very big deal to me indeed on Thanksgiving when, surrounded by a group [...]]]></description>
