		<description>[...] So why is she back now, I hear you ask. Well, the answer is FACEBOOK. I have become addicted to something I swore from the outset that I would never let myself get suckered into. Facebook, as a social networking tool, is fine and dandy, and reconnecting with old pals is definitely a nice thing, although the point could be argued that there is a reason why people lose touch with each other, and if someone is important to you, you pick up the phone. Well, that&#8217;s an argument for another day. In fact, I talked about this very subject a while back&#8230;  [...]</description>

		<description>I met Mr. Robbins at a sort-of symposium (the nature of the event that he headlined is, as you might expect, difficult to classify) about two years ago. (I posted about it here: http://part-timebuddha.squarespace.com/koans/2006/10/1/under-the-influence.html)

I also have signed copies of Jitterbug Perfume (the book that got me hooked), and Still Life with Woodpecker.

Thanks for the kudos on my blog. I've been enjoying yours too!</description>

		<description>I checked out your blog - very nice! I especially like your theory about women one day ruling the world - I can't argue with that - and I won't even begin to talk about the fact that you have a signed copy of Fierce Invalids! 
How did you get that?</description>
