		<description><![CDATA[Celestial bodies, which is really just a big way of saying the the sun, the moon and the stars is the theme for tonight&#8217;s storytime at the Pocono Township Library, in Tannersville, PA. In my bag of tricks for tonight&#8217;s reading are What the Sun Sees/What the Moon Sees by Nancy Tafuri, The Dog Who [...]]]></description>

		<title>What did we do before the internet?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve seen less of me online the latley, that&#8217;s because the internet stopped working at my place for a few days. It&#8217;s back now and I am scrambling to keep up with everything I missed and fell behind on. I feel like I am just about caught up, but it makes me wonder what [...]]]></description>

		<title>And they&#8217;re not hiring me as a stunt coordinator?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[According to this Media Bistro article, Mr. Popper&#8217;s Penguins is finally coming to the big screen and Jim Carrey is going to star in it. How cool is that? Still, I&#8217;m a little bit confused. Perhaps the movie&#8217;s producers missed out on this post from last year. Surely, if they were aware of the fact [...]]]></description>

		<title>A book I can&#8217;t wait to read</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A fellow Elevensie, author Beth Revis just got a nice and well-deserved plug from Publisher&#8217;s Weekly on her debut novel, Across the Universe. Now that I&#8217;ve had a first chance to read the first chapter, I agree with Publisher&#8217;s Weekly&#8217;s assessment that this is a killer first chapter. I can&#8217;t wait to read Beth&#8217;s novel. [...]]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s your most inadvertently funny typo?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week I accidentally created a new creature by typing the word &#8220;alligator&#8221; instead of &#8220;octopus&#8221; and creating a sort of alligator octopus hybrid, which isn&#8217;t quite as scary as this picture of a bearsharktopus found on RationalSkepticism.org but still isn&#8217;t something I&#8217;d like to run into the next time I&#8217;m out for a swim.

		<title>I have officially survived another lock-in</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve done a bit more sleeping this weekend than I normally do, but that&#8217;s because I&#8217;ve been playing catch-up. From 8:30 Friday night until 8:30 Saturday morning, I was locked in the library with 18 teenagers and my fellow able, willing and slightly crazy chaperons at the library&#8217;s annual teen lock-in. There were games, a [...]]]></description>

		<title>There&#8217;s something fishy about tonight&#8217;s storytime theme</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The theme for tonight&#8217;s storytime is creatures that live in or spend a lot of time in the water. It&#8217;s in keeping with the Make A Splash at Your Library Summer Reading theme and by expanding it to other water-loving creatures I can include things like whales, penguins and, as I pointed out on Facebook [...]]]></description>

		<title>I have an agent</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a quick update to let you know that I now have a literary agent. I&#8217;m excited to be represented by Jim McCarthy of Dystel &#38; Goderich Literary Management. For those keeping score, I have gone about things a little bit backwards. Most folks get an agent first, and then sell their book. What can I [...]]]></description>
