		<title>Six Weeks Test (The Diet, Day 43)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seemed significant somehow to me that I had stuck out six weeks on this dreaded diet. I couldn&#8217;t think why. I couldn&#8217;t think what was different about six weeks than five or seven. I kept trying to remember if I&#8217;d read about any mystical value to six weeks in one of my diet books [...]]]></description>

		<title>Deliberate Practice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been listening to Daniel Pink&#8217;s book Drive today. I &#8220;read&#8221; the Audible version of it months ago, but I wanted to read it again. I think the man knows what he&#8217;s talking about. I think anyone who is in any position to manage people needs to read it for the words of wisdom on [...]]]></description>

		<title>What we aren&#8217;t talking about when we aren&#8217;t talking about pedagogy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been interested in Jeff Rice&#8217;s posts this week in which he critiques some Rutgers videos on their composition program. What strikes me most is just the sad fact that the two-year colleges in my area, not just mine but others as well, are not even in this conversation. Jeff is contributing to a national [...]]]></description>

		<title>42 days in the desert without dessert (The Diet, Day 42)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was going to use this title on Day 40, and I forgot to see it through. Perhaps that&#8217;s fortunate. Perhaps I don&#8217;t really want to compare myself to&#8230;well, you know&#8230;the one who did the forty days in the desert thing. I didn&#8217;t have anything profound to say about it anyway. I just liked the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mindfulness, Absent and Otherwise (The Diet, Day 41)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve said all along that my biggest problem with my diet was just paying attention to what I was eating and when. I&#8217;ve been so busy for so long. It wasn&#8217;t so much that I was eating more often as that I was eating less often, or at least less regularly. I was forgetting to [...]]]></description>

		<title>What I Love About My Job</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I can sum up what I love about my job in one word: People. I love the people in my office suite who laugh both with and at me. I love my department chair who paces around us all like a she-wolf protecting her young. I love the eLearning director who has bent over backwards [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Economics of Culpability</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m on day 3 now of my attempt to write 750 words a day for my blog for the month of September. I&#8217;m not sure South Mississippi can handle 30 days of heartfelt honesty from me. Probably in a day or two I&#8217;ll go back to talking about celery sticks and balsamic vinegar, but I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<title>750 Words</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I promised myself I was going to do the 750words.com September challenge. That means I promised myself I would write 750 words a day every day during the month of September. This seems particularly foolish right now. I don&#8217;t have enough time to do everything I&#8217;m supposed to do in a day. Why would I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Do not go gentle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the 29 faculty members and 21 programs &#8220;down-sized&#8221; at The University of Southern Mississippi this week. Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rage at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s not about the clothes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m very sad today. I&#8217;m deeply sad to hear about all of the cuts at USM. It sickens me. It feels like hearing a good friend has a terminal illness. I&#8217;m not sure this friend is going to make it, and I&#8217;m scared for her. I know people who have lost their jobs. I know [...]]]></description>
