		<title>Southampton Playwriting Award</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I can finally say that I&#8217;m an award-winning playwright!  I&#8217;ve come close a couple of times.  One of my plays was a finalist in two national competitions.  But as a proud pinko-type I don&#8217;t usually worry over awards, which to me have always seemed like false measures of talent, often based on politics and gossip [...]]]></description>

		<title>Two Women On The Shore</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This woodcut print by Edvard Munch is called &#8220;Two Women On The Shore.&#8221;  I had the honor of seeing the piece in person when I was in Dublin completing University of Iowa&#8217;s Irish Writing Program in 2006.  There a rare moments I&#8217;ve been fortunate to experience when a piece of art actually reaches into the [...]]]></description>

		<title>May Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For as long as Joe Arpaio has been sheriff of Arizona it has seemed like the state has been living in its own version of the film Dr. Strangelove.  Instead of a General going crazy and setting off an atomic bomb, it&#8217;s a racist wannabe cowboy abusing his power by bullying Hispanics.  But now the insanity [...]]]></description>

		<title>Next to Normal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not usually a Broadway musical fan, but this play changed my perspective and perhaps even my life. After Les Miserables I have to say this is officially my second favorite musical of all time. Next to Normal is a musical comedy about a family coping with a mentally ill mother. The themes are heavy [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ever Gold</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night I was reminded of why I love San Francisco so much. There&#8217;s an awareness of history here that no other American city seems to have. San Francisco was founded by adventurers who believed their dreams would come true by digging gold out of the earth. Even more now, it is a place that [...]]]></description>
