		<title>Gig Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve got a gig tonight at Savona&#8217;s, a great Italian restaurant in the Rondout of Kingston. We&#8217;re just performing for two hours in the bar, from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm, but I&#8217;m nervous. I guess I always get a little nervous on gig day. But for some reason, I&#8217;m a little more nervous than [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Wake to Sleep, and Take My Waking Slow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why fight it? Why try to make it other than it is?
Since I&#8217;ve been in New York I wake up around 7:00 or 8:00 am. And it bugs me. That feels late to me. When I was in California, I used to get up around 6:00 am at the latest. I used to always wake [...]]]></description>

		<title>Moving&#8230;.Again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I moved. Again.
Three blocks up, two blocks over to a truly great space on Hone Street.
And in many ways, this move was more dramatic than my move cross country.
I&#8217;m still in the neighborhood I love, the Rondout, but I no longer have to suffer through the noisy DJ parties that Mariners and Ship To Shore [...]]]></description>

		<title>White Christmas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Like angels bending down to kiss me, the most magical snow fell late last night, Christmas night, giving this California girl her first white Christmas. Big, fluffy flakes as big as mice floated slowly out of the dark sky to cover everything, quiet everything. After a day of watching a pay-per-view movie (&#8220;Julie &#38; Julia&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Winter Comes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[New York is so dramatic.
As if with a wave of a magic wand, Fall swooped in and turned leaves crimson, orange and gold. Now, winter has announced itself, and the trees are almost completely bare, waiting for their first skim of snow. It&#8217;s time to pack away the t-shirts, shorts and sun dresses and haul [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pushing Through the Membrane</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a ton of work to do today. I should be writing a proposal for a client. Actually, I need to write 3 different proposals today. But I can&#8217;t get started. I can&#8217;t dig in.
Something happened last night. Something that shifted me into a new place and allowed me to relocate a part of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fragile Ego, Fragile Voice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Be careful what you ask for. Even in the secret whispers of your heart. You just may get it.
Last night, a songwriter/musician whom I admire asked me a question that stopped my heart. He asked me if he wrote a song for me to sing, would I accept his instruction when it came time to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bad News Today: Upper Fourth is Closed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My friend Jeff from Sebastopol gave me the bad news last night.
Upper Fourth is closed.
For those of you who don&#8217;t know what I&#8217;m talking about, Upper Fourth is, or rather, was a beautiful, classy bar in Santa Rosa that offered adults the perfect place to meet, have a drink, talk quietly, laugh loudly and listen [...]]]></description>

		<title>Diva News: Video Blog, Sept. 4, 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hey Gang!
Here&#8217;s my first video blog, inspired by the fact that I&#8217;ve been too damned busy to write an issue of Diva News, or even a blog post for that matter.
Just to catch you up as I enter my 6th month in New York.
