		<title>Writing much, but not here</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been very busy finishing up a book about MLA documentation. Coyote Canyon Press hopes to publish it as a paperback original this September. Yes, I know, It&#8217;s a pretty quick deadline, which means the book pretty much has taken over my life — the implications of which are long hours at the computer. It [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy Watergate Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ I remember clearly the day Nixon resigned.
On this day in 1972, five men were arrested inside the Democratic National Committee&#8217;s (DNC) office. They were later charged with attempted burglary and attempted interception of telephone and other communications. On September 15, a grand jury indicted them and two other men (E.

		<title>I&#8217;m publishing a book!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Coyote Canyon Press is publishing a book of Robert Frost&#8217;s early poetry, for which I did the editing, selected the poems, and wrote explanatory notes. The idea was a simple one: gather up the poems from Frost&#8217;s first three volumes and write notes for the poems that needed some sort of explanation. The title of [...]]]></description>
