		<description><![CDATA[A favorite newletter article from March 2009:
I am sitting in the Millburn Public Library, which is just a few blocks from furbish. I just left a busy, noisy café in the area where I tried to sit and write and think, but it didn&#8217;t suit my mood or the level of introspection I needed at [...]]]></description>
