		<title>If you write about writer&#8217;s block, does that officially end it?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I haven&#8217;t written at this blog in three months or so.  That&#8217;s not surprising.  I have four blogs, and have only written at one of them lately (if you call one post in a month lately), and that&#8217;s because it&#8217;s my job.  And even at that one, I&#8217;m having real trouble writing something significant.  [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bamboodiaries.wordpress.com&blog=2150072&post=30&subd=bamboodiaries&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Magic or Mojo, You Make the Call</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let’s call it magic. Or maybe it’s mojo. Whatever it is, I suddenly have it, after a lifetime of not having it. Things have been rolling my way, in a way that someone two decades younger can appreciate. Actually, someone almost two decades younger has been quite appreciative. Or truth be told, two or three [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bamboodiaries.wordpress.com&blog=2150072&post=29&subd=bamboodiaries&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Saying Hi to the Puppies and Kitties</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my last post, I referenced a New York Times article about people who blog about their divorces, publicly airing their side of the story and the pain.  That&#8217;s how I discovered NakedJen.  NakedJen is another blogger that I think I would be the best of friends with in real life, but since [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bamboodiaries.wordpress.com&blog=2150072&post=28&subd=bamboodiaries&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Privacy &#8212; or the lack thereof</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The visits to my humble little blog have increased dramatically lately, when the last post (Small Town People Are Bitter &#8212; Get Over It) was cross-posted at TheSeminal.com, a political blog produced by my friends that appears to get a fair amount of traffic.  I didn&#8217;t think about having The Seminal link back here [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bamboodiaries.wordpress.com&blog=2150072&post=27&subd=bamboodiaries&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Small town people are bitter &#8212; get over it.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Unless you&#8217;ve been living under a rock for the past few days (which you might be if you live in a small town), you may have heard that presidential candidate Barack Obama has kicked up a shitstorm (or more accurately, the handlers of his opponents have) for daring to suggest that people in small towns [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bamboodiaries.wordpress.com&blog=2150072&post=26&subd=bamboodiaries&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Birthday on the Way</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I come from the kind of family that doesn&#8217;t make a big deal about birthdays, unlike the families where you get to be a princess for a day.  But my next birthday is going to be more of a big deal than I&#8217;ve had in several years:  actually, in 7 years, since I was married [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bamboodiaries.wordpress.com&blog=2150072&post=25&subd=bamboodiaries&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>About My Mother</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My mom is finally sleeping nearby, after a rough afternoon.  She thinks something may be wrong with her surgery, and it&#8217;s hard to know whether her instincts are right (as they often are) or whether she&#8217;s just not progressing as quickly as she wants to be (she&#8217;s stubborn that way).  At any rate, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bamboodiaries.wordpress.com&blog=2150072&post=24&subd=bamboodiaries&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>On Being Right</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Even though I have a law degree, I don&#8217;t typically have an overwhelming need to be right.  You know the type, the person who will argue until they beat the other side into submission. Actually being persuasive often takes a back seat to focusing on the sartorial weaknesses of the opponent, and victory is [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bamboodiaries.wordpress.com&blog=2150072&post=23&subd=bamboodiaries&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>and life continues to fly by&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t written much lately &#8212; not that it means I don&#8217;t have much to say, but life has really been flying by.  I&#8217;ve become part of a new set of friends that has turned my life into a whirlwind.  There have been lots of networking events.  I feel like I&#8217;m on the path I&#8217;m [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bamboodiaries.wordpress.com&blog=2150072&post=22&subd=bamboodiaries&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The Writing Diet &#8212; Interesting Food for Thought</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In an effort to get more healthy this year, and try to deal with my weight issues, I&#8217;ve been reading a number of diet-related books lately.  Obviously, there&#8217;s no shortage of them, so the trick is to find what is helpful, vs. what is mostly annoying.  I made the impulse decision to purchase The Writing [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bamboodiaries.wordpress.com&blog=2150072&post=21&subd=bamboodiaries&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
