		<description><![CDATA[3 exciting things happened yesterday: First, I was given 2 free umbilical cord clamps (you know&#8211;that plastic doo-hickey) by a hospital clerk. Granted, this was after handing over $105 to have all my instruments sterilized, but still &#8212; one doesn&#8217;t need to be a novelist to read the clamps as a promise of the wonderful [...]

		<title>The Penguin and I: The Final Post</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Where was I? Ah, yes, having talked a bit about each of the main characters over the course of the week, it&#8217;s time for the Sima&#8217;s Undergarments for Women, wine pairing menu. To backtrack briefly:  while on tour for the hardcover release of Sima last winter, I found myself reading at a boutique wine shop [...]

		<title>Penguin.com and me, BFF</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve already talked about how I set out to write Lev and Sima&#8217;s marriage: forty-six years together, and for all their intimacy a loneliness between them. And then into that marriage that classic novelistic device: A stranger comes to town. A stranger with perfect breasts. Who happens to be Israeli. Readers often express surprise that [...]

		<title>The Penguin and I, day 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, I wrote about how interesting it&#8217;s been for me to listen to reader&#8217;s reactions to Sima, who they tend to love or hate. As for Lev, Sima&#8217;s husband, the reaction is more consistent: for the most part, readers adore him. Personally, I don&#8217;t always buy it. I mean, don&#8217;t get me wrong: of course [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Sima&#8217;s Undergarments for Women opens with breasts. &#8220;Sima surprised herself by blushing at the round perfection of the young woman&#8217;s breasts,&#8221; it reads. &#8220;For thirty-five years, after all, breasts had been her business.&#8221; Over the next 13 lines, I detail them. By this point in Sima&#8217;s publishing career I&#8217;ve done lots and lots of readings: [...]

More to follow, really this time, because they asked and I told them I&#8217;d do it and so set the alarm for 5:30am and, voila, it&#8217;s amazing what committed deadlines can do [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Now where was I? Oh yes, drowning in study cards and twitching every time my pager rang. Well, I&#8217;ve graduated UBC Midwifery, mostly. The actual ceremony  &#38; much anticipated after-party remains. And a national exam. And then there&#8217;s hospital registration &#38; medical billing number assignment &#38; insurance payments and a whole lot of paperwork. But [...]

		<description><![CDATA[So I started reading a book. A real book. Actually, it started shortly after I posted about how I don&#8217;t read anymore because blah blah being a midwifery student is so busy. And I thought, really? Really really? Because I love reading. It defines me, or used to. And I thought, what about my daughters? [...]
