		<description><![CDATA[To Marie Howe:


I am writing this now, at the end of the night, with the cat asleep over the comforter folded off to the side of the bed, the dog sprawled on the hardwood floor absorbing the cool, and Wojtek passed out over his Harry Potter tome, dreaming of the strategic and the tactical in [...]]]></description>
