		<title>Crucial Minutiae is evolving and moving!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have (at last!) moved to a new blog called How She Does It, a new blog that is the exploration of six women&#8217;s answers to the big question. It&#8217;s our shared inquiry into how we live our creative process &#8212; not only in our work as writers, poets, artists, but also in life as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Coming Soon: A New Blog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As you&#8217;ve probably noticed, Crucial Minutiae has been silent for the last month. While all of us enjoyed writing together in this space for almost three years, this site has officially closed up shop.
But we&#8217;re not going away! Six of are currently incubating a Crucial Minutiae spin-off, and we will launch this new site sometime [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lake Effect</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It turns out that blogging is much more easily accomplished from a Days Inn hotel room in an unfamiliar town during a blizzard than on a birthday or a visit home for the holidays.  I&#8217;m not sure I have anything particularly insightful or pertinent to put out there, except to express my gratitude for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Not OK Computer &#8211; Part II</title>
		<description><![CDATA[About a year and a half ago, my old iBook died, and I wrote this post about what I learned from that experience: namely, your computer will die someday, and you probably won&#8217;t be able to back it up right before it does.
Since then, I&#8217;ve found myself returning to that post time and again, for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Environment and Disease</title>
		<description><![CDATA[During my first week as a Montana resident, I stood face to face with a politically conservative, devoutly Christian, Bikram-yoga loving, Scottish electrician who told me to have faith that the negative ions in this pure country air will cure all ills. I took an exaggerated inhalation and smiled at him. He proceed to share [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mom-athy Part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I finally got back to work as an Artist (Writer) in Residence at the children&#8217;s hospital last week.  My warm-up was an art project at a tree lighting ceremony for chronically ill kids.  It went beautifully, but when I got home and discovered I just missed tucking my baby into bed, I was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Map of The Middle East</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At 7.30 yesterday morning, my boyfriend and I hovered over our new Montana friend Greg as he took this Middle East geography test in our kitchen. We&#8217;d remembered it while speaking with him about the arbitrary nature of political borders and hooting about the 50 elk we saw yesterday in the field. He fared better [...]]]></description>

		<title>How We Didn&#8217;t Become Famous</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230; and how I became that mom.
You can already guess, this is more minutiae than crucial.  If you want something on the grounded and meaningful side from me, go back and read my birth story.
This all starts back when I was a kid and wanted to be an actress more than anything besides having [...]]]></description>

		<title>Skateboard and Poop</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(But not at the same time; that could be dangerous.) Today, I highlight two very cool creative fathers &#8211; one whose writing I&#8217;ve read gratefully for seven years, and a friend of his who&#8217;s taking his son on the adventure of his young life.
My friend Michael is a brilliant writer and father of two almost [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pre-Existing Condition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was thinking of going to the dermatologist.  Should I tell my provider that I have skin?  This was my reaction to a dizzying fight over the bill I received for the delivery of my baby and our hospital stay.  We&#8217;re lucky to have insurance, I know that.  But imagine my [...]]]></description>
